Trumpcare is dead.

House Republican leaders abruptly pulled a Republican rewrite of the nation’s health-care system from consideration on Friday, a dramatic acknowledgment that they are so far unable to repeal the Affordable Care Act. 

“We just pulled it,” President Trump told the Washington Post in a telephone interview. 

The decision came a day after President Trump delivered an ultimatum to lawmakers – and the defeat represented multiple failures for the new president and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.). The decision means the Affordable Care Act remains in place, at least for now, and a major GOP campaign promise goes unfulfilled. 

The decision also casts doubt on the GOP’s ability to govern and to advance other high-stakes agenda items, including tax reform and infrastructure spending. Ryan is still without a signature achievement as speaker – and the defeat undermines Trump’s image as a skilled dealmaker willing to strike compromises to push his agenda forward.

Trump has previously said that if this fails he wants to move on, so there is little chance the Republicans will attempt this again.

And let's face it they really don't want to anyway.

The response on Twitter was epic!




Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the next Trump failure.

Update: Even Paul Ryan gets it.
