there really isn't a good analogue in the modern era for the level of failure this is.

Clintoncare didn't finally putter out until 94 and he got several bills before then.

i mostly mean the fact that bannon had his propaganda mill try and push the narrative of "ryancare" because he didnt like it and didnt want his fat moron president associated with it in such an absurdly transparent way

Basically the iPhone thing with the FBI was dumb because there was nothing on it that couldn't have been recovered with a bunch of different warrants for whatever they were just being stupid/lazy

Not quite

Apple encryption uses the pin number as a part of the key so they needed it to make any sense of the data they recovered from the phone via warrant. Apple was more than happy to hand them the data from the most recent iCloud backup, but the FBI wanted them to crack into the phone itself which it literally can't do by design, so the FBI told them to build a backdoor and they told them to go screw.

Why is this considered a big victory? What's preventing the GOP from trying again a month or two down the road?

if the differences between the opposing wings in the gop could have been ironed out they would have done it. they couldn't. so they instead tried to bully/intimidate opponents into supporting the bill and now the jig is up. this also demonstrates to all gop supporters that the party is full of poo poo and all the grandstanding they've been doing for the past 8 years was nothing but hot air. only the dumbest of the dumbs will buy their 'bulh it's democrats fault!!' excuse

This whole article's really good, Trump hosed himself over

quote:

Through charm, force of personality and sheer intimidation, Trump did move some votes into the yes column. But GOP leaders were left wondering why he didn't do more—why he didn't send tweets, travel to congressional districts, put his famed dealmaking skills to work. The answer, to Republicans on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, is obvious: Because he lacked familiarity with the legislation itself, and thought it was Ryan’s job to sell the specifics.

“Trump is a business executive. When he tells his lieutenants to get something done, he's used to it getting done,” one senior House GOP aide told me. “He’s really not used to getting involved himself.”
