Well, that&#8217;s what happens when you change the rules in the middle of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The article quotes a statement made by Speaker Ryan in January of 2016 after Obama <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Veto\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Veto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">vetoed<\/a> the bill:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>It&#8217;s no surprise that someone named Obama vetoed a bill repealing Obamacare, and we will hold a vote to override this veto. Taking this process all the way to the end under the Constitution. But here&#8217;s the thing the idea that Obamacare is the law of the land for good is a myth. This law will collapse under its own weight or it will be repealed. Because all those rules and procedures <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Democratic Caucus of the United States Senate\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Democratic_Caucus_of_the_United_States_Senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Senate Democrats<\/a> have used to block us from doing this that&#8217;s all history. We have shown now that there is a clear path to repealing Obamacare without 60 votes in the Senate. So next year if we&#8217;re sending this bill to a republican president it will get signed into law. Obamacare will be gone \u2026 [emphasis added]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But the bill they sent to the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Republican Party (United States)\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Republican_Party_%28United_States%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Republican<\/a> president (<a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Donald Trump\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Donald_Trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Donald Trump<\/a>) was not the same bill that they had sent to <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"WhiteHouse.gov\" href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">President Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>This week, Speaker Ryan should abandon his RINOcare bill and bring the 2015 reconciliation bill to the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Chambers of parliament\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chambers_of_parliament\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">floor of the House<\/a> for a vote.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>It\u2019s time to stop the bait and switch.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is the elected <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"President of the United States\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/President_of_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">President of the United States<\/a>.
