Trump might consider himself a deal maker, but clearly has no understanding of how politics really work. Trump is used to taking on one person at a time, or a small group of people who have the same objectives - all of whom want to do business with Trump badly. Trump has never encountered a situation like this... Half of the people are dead set against him, and the other half are broken down into three groups: one group who supports him, one group who doesn't support him because Trumpcare doesn't do enough damage to Obamacare, and a third group that thinks Trumpcare is worse than Obamacare.
I've said this time and time again on GFY - The Republicans box themselves into a corner where no matter what they lose. If they fail to repeal Obamacare after seven years of bitching about it and promising to kill it, they look stupid. If they replace Obamacare and their replacement makes things even worse - which seems to be the case - they will look even worse.
What no one is talking about is what is the scariest part of it all. It seems to me like Trump and the Republicans have quickly undone a large number of laws Obama signed. Is this what our government has become - a new President from the opposing party regains control of the White House and removes dozens of laws the prior President has signed?
