TRUMP LOSES: Trumpcare House bill will not be voted in the Senate

Right after the House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act, and Donald Trump bragged about it, Senate Republicans said they will not vote the bill and, instead, they will work on their own healthcare bill.

Not only that; according to The Washington Examiner, the Republicans in the Senate said their own bill "will attempt to incorporate elements of the House bill, senators said, but will not take up the House bill as a starting point and change it through the amendment process."

The article adds:

"The safest thing to say is there will be a Senate bill, but it will look at what the House has done and see how much of that we can incorporate in a product that works for us in reconciliation," said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

So technically, all of the bragging and gloating Trump did after the House passed the bill was for nothing, because in the end the House bill won't even get to the Senate floor. And whatever the Senate comes up with will probably not be approved by the Freedom Caucus in the House.

Or to put it another way, Trump lost. He sold some snake oil and now the Senate won't even touch his Trumpcare House bill.
