Trump said day 1 - immediately. He said it would be "easy." He said he was a master deal-maker, and knew how to negotiate these things.
Then, he said healthcare was really complicated, and tried to blame a party that has no power anywhere for the fact that he couldn't bring Republicans together.
No spinning this one, I'm afraid. Trump's first bigtime, high-profile legislation - and he got embarrassed. He is no longer the "winning" guy. He's a loser.
It doesn't change the reality, it will get done. And probably within about the same timeline it took Obama to play that same game. Maybe slightly shorter, then he'll claim he did it in "record time" and that it is YUUUGE...
