...find it as easy as all that to kill the ACA. I think he gave several reasons, but mostly it's the one so many Repubs were citing with dismay this week: people have had 7 years to get used to having this benefit, however imperfect, and they are not going to give it up now. Once enough Americans woke up and realized that the ACA and Obamacare are one and the same, they started to get pretty upset.

Trump is still lying with every breath, even though he has no idea what is in either the ACA or the new bill. Ryan is trying to spin it a bit. They can still hurt the ACA, so vigilance is essential.

But we won this round. Bigly. And it is a joy.
