The base has been clear since the beginning...repeal first.  Then we'll talk about replacements.

It wouldn't shock me if Kinser was right.  Trump promised the moon, more people covered, better care and cheaper, which wasn't going to happen. I don't think Trump wanted to take lots of people off insurance.  They managed to get the issue off the front burner with enough muddle that they could blame somebody else, anybody else.

I'm not impressed with Trump's people skills or political acumen.  It's just as plausible that he just messed up.  I'm not going to make a firm call.  Let's see how the next several crises fall.
