#1 And yet Paul Ryan walked straight into the Barzini trap that president Trump set for him.

This 'Godfather' metaphor conveniently leaves out one character - HHS Secretary Tom ~~Hagen~~ Price. This was his plan every bit as much as it was Speaker Ryan's plan. And by extension it was President Trump's plan as well. Perhaps the apt quote should be;

Yournot a wartime Consigliere Tom.

#2 Mcconnel and Ryan: Mr. President we now have a congressionally approved Tax Relief bill ready for your signature.

POTUS: Absolutely outstanding. Fantastic work guys, but I've just kicked it up a notch. Please bring me a coordinated Health Care 'End Obamacare' bill and we'll have a duel signing. I'll be in my office.

#3 Trump has zero legislative experience. He and his team were relying heavily on Ryan, and Ryan screwed the pooch. He should go down.

#6 Sometimes you have to give the enemy a victory for them to relax and let you have what you want. The health care bill can be revisited later, after Obamacare has people hurting and properly holding Dems accountable for the price hikes.

#7 Trump has zero legislative experience.

Maybe so, but Trump does have a lot of contract experience. He knows how to play the deal to get what he want. In fact, lack of legislative experience may be a good thing as it's not "politics as usual" at play here, but "get it done!"
