That's my title; theirs is: Trump's Impatience with GOP grows
By Alexander Bolton @ TheHill.com, May 31
The article is good on explaining why a health care bill will be long in coming and might look quite different from what we have seen so far, along with elaborating on frustration of McConnell et. al. with Trump's tweets on the filibuster, etc.

And looks like near chaos on the budget:
GOP budget woes leave lawmakers in the dark
Congress' budget process is reaching new levels of dysfunction as Republicans try to fund the government without knowing how much they can spend.

While it's true that Trump is a nitwit I don't buy that defense. He knew enough to order everybody out of the room so he could talk to Comey alone. Even when Comey requested the Sessions stay Trump ordered him out. Trump knew that he didn't want to say any of these things in front of his Attorney General.

oh I dont't buy it either, but it's interesting GOP spinmeisters think it wil work because ironically, I think it will look naive to a majority of the electorate. I think more people are intuitively savvier about spin than ever before, they've been practicing it themselves in social media and such for a long time. (Even a lot of Trump fans admit that he himself is all spin, they just happen to like his spin.)
