President Trump’s biggest fans have reacted to his voluntary and complete ownership of the House Obamacare repeal bill by digging up some old news in an attempt to drive a wedge between him and Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

The fact that they elected a dealmaker and not a no-compromise conservative seems like a deniable fact to some people even now that its consequences are making themselves felt.
