As long as this thing lingers, the longer before they own it. In the meantime they slice little pieces off until it fails and then blame Obama. If everybody loses their health care, the GOP plan will be good by comparison.

It's a tightrope timing wise and things could go wrong for them.

Meanwhile back at the Whitehouse, trump throws a swell party to forget about his Russian mob troubles for a while.

Another issue is, will consumers pull in their horns waiting for this thing to sort itself out?
