At the risk of being a day late and a hot take short, I’m adding my two cents on the House’s failed experimentation with Obamacare repeal. Math is what matters most. For all of the inside baseball about President Trump and House Speaker Ryan’s leadership styles, an unwavering Freedom Caucus and an uneasy Tuesday Group, it’s the chamber’s numbers game that fascinates. House Republicans haven’t enjoyed such strength in numbers since the end of the Roaring Twenties (270 GOP members following the 1928 election). Now, the bad news: it’s not enough to be a reliable working majority.
