When you play with rattlesnakes, sometimes you get bit......

WaPo looked at the fracture within the GOP between Trump Loyalists (are we really having to use the term Loyalist in 2017??) and the Ryan GOP over Healthcare (Trump Loyalists sound the Alarm).  On one hand, this is classic Trump - bail out when the going gets hard. He is not a loser because he changes sides before the losing really happens. This is indicative of his shockingly amoral character (hello, Evangelicals who might have just elected the antichrist). It also tells us that the GOP doesn't get what  Populist revolution is. Ryan thought he could play with a rattlesnake in order to get his austerity measures passed. (What he thought was going to happen over the military budget, I don't know.) I am cynically amused.
