Eric Bolling was so happy that Trump’s healthcare bill was pulled from voting that he somberly and angrily said that it was a great victory for great leader, yes yes, verily verily I say to thee.

Watch below:







Wow. Even I am impressed by the depth of devotion and zeal he exhibits here.

Bolling has been pretty outspokenly against the bill as it was prepared, but he was very careful to say it was Ryan’s bill all along, probably hedging his bets for just this occasion where he could separate Trump from responsibility. But make no mistake, Trump was 100% behind this bill. He said we could trust him because he’s a master negotiator and he’s smarter than everyone, but somehow, people like Bolling are now saying he was fooled by politicians.

El Scoopo tells me this may not be a win for Trump, but it’s a win for the American people because the bill will obviously be revised to fit some of the Freedom Caucus’ demands. But will it lose more moderate support then? We will see.

Bolling’s contention that this means Ryan and Mitch McConnell will “relinquish control” is absurd. Why does he assume Trump will fire them and take on the impossible task himself? If he could have done it, he would have done it first. This seems to me like wishful thinking by those who really believe Trump is a mastermind and the GOP is trying to sabotage him.
