Ben Shapiro speaks the truth. The GOP has been lying about repealing Obamacare for 7 years:
This is not about true conservatives letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. It is about the GOP lying openly for seven years.

They promised repeal. They presented Obamacare 2.0 with some tax cuts and Medicaid reform.

What’s even worse is that Republicans are admitting they lied as long as who did the lying stays anonymous:
Privately, several House mbrs and Sns told me for weeks they didn't really want to pass it. Like groom w/ cold feet, after long engagement.

And the next step for the GOP will be to blame Dems:
What you have to understand is that privately many Rs rather "blame Dems" ahead of 2018, rather than shoulder burden of passing this bill.

President Trump weighed in on Twitter, telling Republicans that that they should let Obamacare fail and then Dems will come to the table:
Recommended
We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
Is that really likely though? When the GOP can’t get anything done with the majority it has, why would Dems bail out President Trump?
