Trump says it 'may be necessary' to extend Obamacare subsidies that fueled shutdown
He said, though, he'd "rather not" and again pitched paying people directly.

(194,311 posts)on the subsidies. An actual rebuttal. It was quick which could mean its just their openly but the way I read it, it seemed like it was a hard no from the rank and file. Thats without any changes in abortion services. We know the House GOP is tired of Trump running over them. Lots of reports of people edging toward retiring.
The really interesting part will be with Trumps brain/ego and his White House echo chamber. Fealty is the rule there. Every is one upping each other too. Can Trump take a NO from the House? Can anyone in whats left of the White House move him away from this.
