Yet another Trump failure. Is there no longer any doubt that Trump just doesn't have what it takes to be President ?

Will this guy EVER admit he was wrong and apologize for anything? Nothing is ever his fault!! He did not 'just miss' getting it through , it was a mile out, never stood a chance!

// The only Pres to resign was Richard Nixon, the 37th U.S.and, is best remembered for resigning for Watergate.//
yes remember - 'my dad is NOT a crook!" - Nixon's daughter
but boys and girls remember that America was NOT badly governed when watergate was in full swing and Nixon and his cohorts were spending up to 90% of their time discussing how to get out of watergate

I'd tend to regard this as a failure of the Republican Party rather than Trump. Sure, it shows that his skills as a negotiator come up short in politics, but that's because the people he is dealing with are apparently incapable of recognising that "all or nothing" is a position you just can't take in politics if you want to get things done. If reports are to be believed even Trump recognised that this time.
So the end product of seven years of screaming about how bad Obamacare is (for reasons that still aren't clear to me are anything to do with Obama, rather the deals he had to do to get any form of healthcare Act through himself), the Republicans finally have control of everything. And then realise that this means it's up to them to work out what the new law should be, and that for some reason none of them gave a thought to that in the last seven years. Or, at least, they never bothered to work on their proposal together.
The Republican Party is broken. This, perhaps more than anything else, is why Trump is president. Who knows, maybe next time American voters will recognise that?

Some very poor quality support from the Glee Club I notice this morning !
Trump has cocked this up big time. Instead of talking to his own Party and getting them alongside, he has tried to rush this through. Not only rush it through, but he has tried to browbeat people into supporting it.....and guess what.....the Republicans didn't want to play ball....his own Party !
Perhaps he is starting to realise that running a country is not like running his own company....he can't bully people into going along with everything he says, or even some of the things he says any longer.
I say perhaps but my gut reaction is that he won't change the ways of a lifetime. He is far too much of a big head....a big head with small hands.

Well, clearly that doesn't hold because the Republican party got more seats in Congress and the Senate. That's the level I was talking about. The president isn't the be-all and end-all of US politics; that this Healthcare Bill failed was a failure of Congress not the president. OK, Trump played his part, but this act would have been written (and rejected) no matter the Republican President that stood up and tried this.
