Trump backed it. HARD. Said it was a GREAT BILL. FAIR BILL. He worked to get people to vote for it. HE said he would easily repeal Obamacare. First thing he would do.

He lied. Again. He couldn't get it done. The man who's the world's greatest negotiator (in his mind and many of his voters) and he couldn't get it done within his own party.

He failed. Biggly.
