Within 64 days the Republicans have tried to push this through and too many concessions were made to attempt to please the pathetic democrats, to get them on side, bit difficult when they are still crying over losing the election, pity, maybe they should have backed Sanders.

Granted Republicans own both chambers but too many Republicans backed off in the end and Trump did right thing to pull the vote.

This is just like here recently, where the chancellor announced increases to national insurance for the self employed. Tory rebellion was growing, not to mention they broke a promise in their 2015 Tory manifesto. So they did a U-Turn. It happens in politics.
The issue with Trump is that he is meant to be the "challenger", the "outsider". He now just looks like any other shabby politician who fails to keep his promises.
