Today is the day Paul Ryan has dreamed of since first shoving his snout into "Atlas Shrugged."

Today we'll all learn something about the state of our political system. If this passes, so will everything else. $2.8 billion in tax cuts for the top 400 U.S. households, the "big, beautiful wall," Social Security on the chopping block, all of it.

If it doesn't, that's another story.

it also has to pass the Senate and if they're having this much trouble in the house it's probably not going to happen.

In that case it's just one more tally mark added on to all the other repeal bills.

I'd just like to see Ryan taken out of the equation for a while. I want him to walk away discouraged today, although I know he won't. He'll keep re-writing this, trying to get it under the radar, as long as he is in office.

These weasels will stop at nothing to drive a dagger through the heart of Barack Obama, even if it means an inevitable death toll to constituents and non-constituents alike.
