President Trump cast blame Sunday for the collapse of his effort to overhaul the health-care system on conservative interest groups and far-right Republican lawmakers, shifting culpability to his own party after initially faulting Democratic intransigence.
His attack — starting with a tweet that singled out the House Freedom Caucus as well as the influential Club for Growth and Heritage Action for America — marked a new turn in the increasingly troubled relationship between the White House and a divided GOP still adjusting to its unorthodox standard-bearer.
And it served as a warning shot, with battles still to come on issues such as taxes and infrastructure that threaten to further expose Republican fractures, that Trump will not hesitate to apply public pressure on those in his party he views as standing in the way.

Trump shifts blame for health-care collapse to far right
Methinks Trump has lost his way. I doubt that he ever had one.

Yeah, Trump worked so hard out there playing golf at his country clubs for a few weeks while Lyin' Ryan slapped together this piece of crap behind locked doors, a mutant bill that kept changing on an hourly basis right up until it got pulled.
No one seriously believes that Trump ever read the bill or understands it at all. Apparently, Trump wanted the House to pass it so he could find out what was in it.

Republicans will get in line and pass the Trump agenda, or they will sink and the Democrats will sweep back into power.
The People elected Trump as leader. The Republicans were returned to power to give him the ability to get his message enacted into law. If Republicans defy Trump, they are defying the People, and the People will turn their backs on the Republicans.
The People do not want what the Republicans have been selling for decades. They want what Trump was selling. But it looks as though the Republicans are going to block Trump.
If they don't quickly fall in line behind him, if they block his agenda, the People will turn to the Democrats, who won't be led by Hillary. You can be sure that if the Democrats get power back, they will enact their entire agenda.
