Maggie Haberman: Senate GOP ‘Actively Angry’ Over Sessions Treatment, Don’t Fear Trump (Mediaite)

The failure of the Senate Heath Care “Skinny Repeal” Bill last night may very well have grave political repercussions for both Capital Hill Republicans and President Donald Trump considering how vocal they have both been in their plans to repeal and replace Obamacare.  On CNN’s New Day this morning, NY Times reporter and CNN Contributor Maggie Haberman provided a pithy assessment on the current political impact that we though was worth sharing.

Before assessing how last night’s failed vote impacts the GOP, Haberman first assailed the Democrats for their “inability to move forward, figure out their own agenda and figure out a way to capitalize on what has been several Republican stumbles.” But she then added that, in her esteem, the Dems were likely taking their cues from an increasingly deteriorative relationship between Capital Hill Republicans and the White House.
