GOP conference meeting at 3:35.

House just declared in recess...?

What was the drama at the very end of the CSPAN comments? Seems like after the gavel, there was a lot of shouting and grumbling.

to a chorus of boos, of course

xp

@sangerkatz
Vote postponed. House in recess.

lol https://twitter.com/costareports/status/845357678390104066

Ryan will hold a news conference at 4 p.m.

they're pulling the bill, according to CNBC

pulled it meaning, it's never even coming up for a vote?

hahahha

I love, love, love that everyone still blabs to Costa. What a good hire for the Post.

man what a gift-wrap for the Dems, didn't even really have to do anything to earn it

GOP House just butt-fumbled

https://twitter.com/costareports/status/845358347801055233

"I don't blame Paul," Trump tells me

But come 3 am...

Absolutely.

he must be soooooo sympathetic on the phone "Aw geez Don, that sounds rough! You must be so upset."

big market rally!

this is, like, shades of the 2005 Social Security reform debacle.

only accelerated and more public and more embarrassing

Shep Smith throwing the Freedom Caucus under the 18 Wheeler being maniacally driven by Trump on Fox right now. Paul Ryan new conf. at top of the hour.

There's an actual massive junkyard fire underway right now just up 95 from Washington. Feel free to use as metaphor.

man these fucks are seriously talking about "tax reform" now passing "more successfully."

do we think they'll really give up on another attempt after this? keep the promise of 'leaving Obamacare' and not risk another public embarrassment?

gonna be some insane ass tweets tomorrow morning holy shit

Holy smokes. This also entirely destroys the president's bluff for the next round of negotiations. He just straight up folded.

hm seems like these dudes aren't actually that good at their jobs

who would have guessed

Poor Hugh.

I regret that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and @SpeakerRyan agreed to pull the bill. Accountability for both sides of argument useful.

wow i am really enjoying this

do we think they'll really give up on another attempt after this? keep the promise of 'leaving Obamacare' and not risk another public embarrassment?

they just squandered all of their political capital on this. Public opposition to full-bore/extreme repeal is only going to grow from now on. And if they go for a more moderate "fix" bill they'll need Dem votes, and Ryan (and Trump) won't do that. This was their shot and the blew it.

And like I said:

https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/845361256311742466

Politically, this is the best outcome for the GOP

And again, true. Nobody's on record for anything, theoretically 'something' can happen. But their great big plan for the month blew up, the end.
