ACA failing is exactly what Ryan wanted, but I don’t think it’s going to work out for him.
The deal was the Republicans spent 8 years firing up their base and campaigning on repealing Obamacare, but the RINOs didn’t actually want to repeal Obamacare. They just want to let Obamacare fail on its own, which is what is going to happen.
But I think when it happens, Ryan and the House Republicans are going to take most of the political blame.
