He’s validating that dark assessment, with a huge assist from Paul Ryan
and a cast of House Republicans who had consistently portrayed themselves as sober-minded, mature alternatives to those indulgent, prodigal Dems, if only they had a president from their party who would let them work their magic.
“Convenient how Trump flips from an all-powerful master negotiator to well-intentioned simpleton
duped by Snidely Ryan at the drop of a hat,” tweeted the conservative columnist Ben Shapiro.

that would cut costs without leaving any Americans in the lurch.

For the two terms of the Obama presidency, Republicans in Congress perfected their posture as the party of no, becoming so comfortable in
that role that they still seem somewhat baffled to find themselves in a new one.
Never mind that House Republicans had voted dozens of times — back when Barack Obama was president and the action was meaningless — to end Obamacare.
