President Trump has issued an ultimatum to House Republicans: Pass a new health bill or he will leave Obamacare in place

President Trump issued an ultimatum on Thursday to recalcitrant Republicans to fall in line behind a broad health insurance overhaul or see their opportunity to repeal the Affordable Care Act vanish, demanding a vote on a bill that appeared to lack a majority to pass.

The demand, issued by his budget director, Mick Mulvaney, in an evening meeting with House Republicans, came after a marathon day of negotiating at the White House and in the Capitol in which Mr. Trump — who has boasted of his deal-making prowess — fell short of selling members of his own party on the health plan.

It's funny how motivated men are when you grab them by the balls. Trump ran on this and should be calling the shots, not the Wisconsin weasel.
