\\n \\t* \\xa0Earlier I talked about the Trump honeymoon, and\\xa0 my belief that it wouldn\'t last long, in fact I thought it might have ended before the marriage began with the inauguration
\\n \\t* It did carry on a bit after that, but it seems to me that the honeymoon is ending now
\\n \\t* Today, the attempt to repeal and replace ObamaCare went down in flames
\\n \\t* That\'s something I had predicted a while ago; I said that I doubted that they would be able to repeal Obamacare and it turns out that I was right
\\n \\t* They didn\'t do it
\\n \\t* In fact, President Trump threw a Hail Mary late in the negotiations by threatening the Republican holdouts: "Pass this bill or else."
\\n \\t* He basically said, it\'s this or nothing - If you don\'t replace ObamaCare, you\'re stuck with the consequences
\\n \\t* I think that was a bad gamble for the President to have made, in fact as soon as he issued that ultimatum
\\n \\t* I thought that was going to be a problem because I didn\'t think the conservatives were going to buckle as a result of that threat
\\n \\t* And they didn\'t
\\n \\t* Now, not only has the bill been pulled, President Trump is in a very awkward position because he\'s already said
\\n \\t* Take it or leave it
\\n \\t* And Republicans left it
\\n \\t* Now how does he come back to the negotiating table?
\\n \\t* Now, if he comes back, he doesn\'t have a lot of credibility
\\n \\t* I still think it would be better if he went back to the negotiation table
\\n \\t* I think it was a bad tactic for Trump to say, "It\'s my way or the highway
\\n \\t* \\xa0I think that if this bill doesn\'t succeed, they should try again
\\n \\t* They should recognize the problems in the replacement bill and work harder to fix them
\\n \\t* The problems is a lot of Republicans don\'t have the stomach for real reform
