Perhaps the most fitting metaphor for where we are right now on Obamacare is to call it monkey trap that leads to the ruin of all those who can’t let go of the prize. Richard Fernandez uses the concept of a monkey trap to describe the mess the Democrats got themselves into and where the House Republicans may soon find themselves with their reform efforts.

I think a better metaphor is “shit sandwich”.
This is exactly why it should collapse under it’s own weight.
I just watched Trump punk the establishment media with something as simple as a 12 year old Schedule A form (you know he did it).
I can’t believe he is letting Paul Ryan lead him into a legislative quagmire. He must have something up his sleeve that will get the job done, and at the same time slap the democraps and obummer upside their heads.
A banana in one hand
A dollar in the other…
She’s a Beauty
She’s right here behind the glass
You can say anything you like
But you can’t touch the merchandise
She’ll give you every pennies worth
But it will cost you a dollar first

Jethro,
There’s no way in hell he can possibly trust Ryan. He’s got to be playing him too.
Could be the best use for the term “shit sandwich” you will find.
Lying’ Ryan and J. Wellington Wimpy have a lot in common.
I’d gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Wimpy: One genuine hamburger for the gentleman. I’m buying.
Who’s paying?
Wimpy: I’m buying. He’s paying.
Ryan will sell us a shit sandwich and tell us it’s a Hamburger. We’ll all pay for it on Tuesday.
Neither the D’s nor the R’s will ever let go. They think they are holding on to power.
Trump was on Tucker tonight. He wouldn’t endorse the Ryan plan. “It’s still in negotiation”. Ryan’s a snake.
Monkey trap?
Are we talking about coconuts stuffed with marijuana again?
Doesn’t matter what it’s called I can’t afford it.
