Trump isn't the one that has House members openly talking about voting him out of his position.... but Paul Ryan is.
Vox.com? Seriously?

lol I suppose I should go to Zerohedge or Infowars, who are now under investigation for treason themselves. But you wouldn't know that unless you read the real news once in a while. You got played almost as bad as Trump

Let me know when you start linking news from something other than Vox.com.

"Sometimes the swamp drains you."
I'm not sure what the underlying point of this piece is. In some ways, it shows how Trump's leadership style doesn't mesh with the 'sausage making' of Capitol Hill. But I don't think that is the author's intent. He means to show Trump as weak, but no Trump supporter I know of thought he'd be coming into this game with a load of experience. Wasn't the the point of voting for Trump?
I think with a few choice words, the spin from the WH will change the focus to Ryan and Congress's abilities in general and that Trump will walk away largely unscathed.

That's wishful thinking. Trump got played, got his ego stroked into having his name all over a bill about which he clearly knows nothing. So far all Trump has done is blame the democrats. Anyway Ryan will be president after Trump and his traitorous enablers are marched out of the oval office in handcuffs

Do you really think so? I don't see it. And I'd rather if not. I think Ryan is decent at being a politician, but the only way I see for him to become president sooner than 2028 is if Pence becomes PUSA before the next 4 years are out.

'It’s an interesting question why the plan Ryan concocted is such a shoddy piece of work, and why Ryan didn’t spend more time building stakeholder support or mapping out a sensible process. '
'"Everybody’s got to be covered," he said, referring to his health care plan. '
'All the energy behind the American Health Care Act is coming from inside the GOP congressional establishment — and now from Trump himself. '
'He’s spent the past week fighting for a health care bill he didn’t campaign on, didn’t draft, doesn’t understand, doesn’t like to talk about, and can’t defend. '
'Instead, Trump has become a pitchman for Paul Ryan and his agenda. '
