No Old Boy Replacement Plan to Satisfy the Lobbyists! When Ryan starts to sound like Nancy Pelosi, he's a goner and headed for the loony bin.

And yet Paul Ryan walked
straight into the Barzini trap that president Trump set for him. By
insisting that the voters desired "Repeal and Replace" when in fact all
anybody wanted was "Repeal, full stop," Ryan's inner wonk superseded his
duties as the speaker of the House to ensure the votes were there for
the "Replace" part of the equation. That they weren't should be the end
of his speakership.
Apparently,
Ryan had been listening to the die-hard never-Trumpers too much, and
actually thought he could skate on his opposition to the insurgent
outsider, whose entire campaign was based on his contempt for the
Permanent Bipartisan Fusion Party and apparatchiks like Ryan. Once the
bright shiny penny of young GOP congressmen, Ryan blotted his copybook
badly in his disappointing vice-presidential debate performance against a
gibbering Joe Biden. He then played coy after House conservatives
finally managed to sack former speaker John Boehner, but eventually
accepted the proffered crown. During the election,
he fought Trump every step of the way and lied about it.
So
heading into round one of the health-care debate, there was no love
lost between Trump and Ryan. Despite the fact that the House had already
voted some 60 times to repeal Obamacare -- which is all GOP voters had
been asking for -- Ryan got it into his head that what was really needed
was a Republican version of Obamacare: "a better way." And so he set
about crafting the latest version of GOP me-tooism, the American Health
Care Act, which was ignominiously
yanked this afternoon when it was clear there were not enough votes to pass it.
