Well, everyone involved in managing this bill just seems to be a moron, because they seem to be doing it in a way that is destined to fail.
Now I know for people like Ryan, trying to hold a caucus together when the nationalist right, the plutocratic right, and the religious right, a lot of this may not be about getting the bill through but instead about who gets to point fingers at who when it fails, and maybe what he's doing makes sense there. I can't understand Republican infighting well enough to understand that.
But for Trump and the administration, who just need to get something through so they stop looking so incompetent, I don't see the defense. Find two little things you can do, get them done, and call it a big win.
