Egg on the face of Ryan and Trump!
Ryan press conference postponed
From CNN's Phil Mattingly
House Speaker Paul Ryan has postposed his scheduled press conference on the GOP health care bill.

Sean Spicer lied again:
Before the Thursday vote was scrapped, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said at his daily briefing that “nothing leads me to believe that” the vote would be put off. He expressed optimism after Trump's meeting with the Freedom Caucus that Republicans will ultimately round up the votes.
"We walked out with more members in support of the American Health Care Act today than we started the day with,” Spicer said. “And I continue to see that number climb hour by hour. And I anticipate that we will get there.”
The “dealmaker”….
Trump has increasingly come to own the health care proposal, even making a direct pitch to members during a closed-door meeting with House Republicans on Tuesday. The continued opposition to the bill may be the first signal that Trump’s political capital doesn’t run very deep in the House GOP conference, and that Republicans, particularly conservative Republicans, aren’t afraid to cross the president.
His vaunted dealmaking skills have failed him so far, however. By offering to eliminate Essential Health Benefits from the bill, he picked up no new support, yet lost a wave of moderates and made the measure more politically toxic than it had been.

So...the big orange “businessman” with tiny hands who touted himself as the great negotiator-dealmaker….couldn’t negotiate or make a deal. “The Art Of The Deal” was a fraud….
