Exactly.
And now what is going to happen is (1) they fail to get the votes in the House to pass this monstrosity / Trump blames everyone but himself / Ryan takes the fall / intra-party war breaks out for over the weekend / return Monday to familiar territory (bashing Obama and Democrats and getting nothing done) or (2) they pass this monstrosity / Senate changes it beyond all recognition / Trump blames everyone but himself / intra-party war breaks out for next several weeks or months / Obama bashing continues while no one takes responsibility for this fiasco.
Oh, almost forgot. Millions get fucked in the process.
