- Trump shifts blame for health-care collapse to the far right (How about look in the mirror for a change, dude?)
- The lessons Trump and Ryan failed to learn from history (“Their health-care fiasco could have been avoided if conservatives still believed in anything beyond tax cuts and deregulation.” I doubt they even read.)
- In Need of Win, Trump and the G.O.P. Pivot to Tax Reform (This won’t end well either, unless they reach out to Democrats ASAP and make this bipartisan.)
