WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Republican immigration overhaul is dangling precariously. It is imperiled by stubborn differences between conservative and moderate factions — and by President Donald Trump’s running commentary about a bill he only half-heartedly supported and then suggested would never become law.
Republican leaders were twice forced to postpone final voting, first until Friday and then punting it to next week, as negotiators made a last-ditch push for support.
They were trying to persuade colleagues to seize the moment and tackle immigration problems by approving the bill, which includes $25 billion for Trump’s border wall and a path to citizenship for young immigrants who have lived in the U.S. illegally since childhood.
Maybe Ryan’s hoping the puckery-lipped lunatic in the White House will do something insane this weekend to suck up all the attention again so he can yank this doomed bill and slink off without anyone noticing. It’s a pretty good bet.
" I really don’t care — Do you ? ? … "
Not only do I not care… I kind of like that he is struggling.

Trump “taking the heat” again.
It is impossible to overstate the depths of Ryan’s incompetence.
