Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) Reveals They Were Never Serious About Repealing Obamacare in the First Place

They hung conservatives out to dry, blamed the House Freedom Caucus, and are now giving away the game. They never intended to repeal Obamacare in the first place. If they did, they’d try again via reconciliation instead of surrendering altogether.​

Darn those Democrats!

'Reveals' implies that this is something that was not known before.

They really need an "I told you so" smiley

Never serious... ah, just like when a conservative pundit says something racist, sexist, or patently stupid... "we were only joking..."

You have to look at what is in their heart figuratively, not literally. Or something like that.

Anybody with half a brain knew the Establishment/Never Trumpers were going to offer up a piece of garbage that would be rejected, all part of the plan to delay/defeat his agenda...

Was healthcare reform ever on his agenda?

Oh? Then why did Trump trust them to get a bill in place instead of enlisting someone to impliment his own plan? If you are correct this makes Trump's behavior on this bill even more bizarre.

Or appallingly incompetent. He's supposed to be the leader. And he has no clue how to do that.

Most unfortunate, it is far too early to be letting the public know of such matters...

It was his agenda though, he embraced it fully, he made threats against people who wouldn't fall in line! He didn't know enough to ask for something else.

The spin now is that Trump is incompetent at his job so things aren't his fault!

This man:

This man is having the pity card played for him?

What's the problem?

It worked for Obama.

Obama the great negotiator?

Trumps SUPPORTERS are calling him too incompetent to lead a real strike against the establishment.

Obama, the magnificent! No criticism was acceptable.

Just keep referencing him, the country already misses him.

When reading the article cited in the OP, it's important to remember where it comes from. If you don't know, it's from one of the leading and early #NeverTrump folks.

Therefore, conspiracy theories that are supposed to make us think that Trump is wrong, incapable, in league with someone we shouldn't like, or something else in that vein are standard stuff.

Well, we could just look at the evidence that Trump was threatening freedom caucus republicans over the healthcare bill that Paul Ryan cooked up.
