Damn, I wanted them to vote. Those yes votes would have been really useful next year

Will Dems still be able to use this effectively during midterms?

Not that bill, they actually started losing votes. That shits dead, and buried.

That probably was a reason for the pull, besides the fact that it was horrible. Those who voted yes, would've had a target on their backs.

Plenty of congress people on record saying they support the bill and if the Democrats can't spin this into a narrative that Republicans are ineffectual then they are worthless.

It's going to be a lot harder to tie individual House members to this, but there's enough that came out in favor publicly that the Dems can hit.

Pulling the bill is almost as bad as it failing the vote, isn't it? Nobody goes on record for having supported it, but it still seems a resounding defeat.

So did Trump become president today?

Dems need to start introducing ACA fix legislation ASAP, and completely decimating any GOP governers still not expanding Medicaid.

Approving legislation that would kill people is probably worse but this still stings.

Oh, so I guess they are going to try to make a different bill or move on to tax reform( more likely )?

People are in for a rude awakening if they think tax reform is going to go any smoother. Far more complicated. Untold parties at stake. Especially if they think they are going to lower the corporate rate to 20%

They will need to move on. Healthcare reform will have to take a backseat.

Both outcomes are shit for them, but still have to think not being officially on the record with a vote on this abomination is still better.

Except they are. Even though they didn't vote for it a lot of them still defended it in the debate on the House floor earlier.

They could have brute forced stuff with reconciliation if they weren't incompetent, they'll actually have to negotiate to get other stuff done now. The issue is they have to make a choice: abandon the Tea Party so you can get some moderate Dems and Repubs, or beg and plead every moderate Repub to fall in line while getting what's more or less becoming a third party (Tea Party) that is wildly unpopular on a national level to give every legislation a stamp of approval.

If they couldn't even get all Repubs to fall in line here, they'll now need to figure out where they want to go since this was a losing tactic on this front.

Trump will continue to get financial reports on the Trump Organization

President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump will provide his father with financial reports regarding Trump Organization, according to a report from Forbes.

"Yeah, on the bottom line, profitability reports and stuff like that, but you know, that's about it," Eric Trump said despite previously echoing his father's sentiments that he will not be involved in the business during his presidency.

The younger Trump said he would issue these reports "probably quarterly," according to Forbes.
