  1. When Trump ran for president in 2016, he promised to replace the Affordable Care Act with something that would cost you a lot less and you would have better coverage. After Trump became president, he did not ever try to replace it, but he did try and kill it.

  2. You’re twisting it when you say he just wanted the win for himself. It would have been a win for the country. We voted them in to do this but they didn’t do it. It’s not the president’s job to negotiate a bill that congress drafted. If there were issues with it the Republican congress leaders should have figured it out. All the president does it get it past the goal line

  3. By 2017, polls were showing that the U.S. population wanted to keep Obamacare, although they hadn't in its early years. But the Republicans had to try and repeal it as a matter of pride now that they had a Republican president. Thanks to three of their own senators, they failed to do so, and they lost the House in the next election. I loved watching Mitchie McConnell near tears when addressing the Senate about how hard they'd worked on the legislation when it was all a lie. They'd worked out a eight page "skinny repeal" bill over lunch and tried to ram it through in a night session and failed.

  4. Trump has your secret, oPaul and I guarantee he is going to turn state where witness on you to save himself. You know what I am talking about, Paul: Remember, Putin's help in the election? The switching votes in the voting machine? Not all of us are stupid. Trump will not go down alone, he will throw all of you under. THIS IS NOT AN EMPTY ASSUMPTION, I SEE IT IN THE REALM❤

  5. He still would've been a better face of the republican party than what it has become under trump. Was a real policy guy and left politics when he realized that republican party is not about that nowadays.

  6. I feel that this clip needs to be shown, along with other highlights of our current 118th Congress when midterm/congressional elections come around, because the Republicans haven't EVER (maybe within the last 20-30 years) been able to govern effectively for us whatsoever. And now, post-Ryan that whole GOP caucus is a basket case of impeachments, obstruction, and outright chaos.

  7. Bob Lighthizer killed NAFTA and replaced it with the USMCA , a 5000 pages deal far more complex than the repeal/replace O care bill , Paul Ryan and the other bureaucrats were incompetents
