      Quite often, congressmen and governors run for president while still holding their positions as congressmen and governors.
      People like Bernie Sanders, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz did this.  There are problems with that, because a presidential campaign typically is a 2 year commitment where that person cannot do the job they are supposed to be doing, and instead are tailoring their comments and actions to promote themselves and protect their presidential campaign.  Also, if that person wins, the state that person represents is then left without it's elected leader.
      You can bet your balls that Paul Ryan will be running for President in 2020.  Even if he doesn't he surely will be considering it.  Because of that, he is not going to want Trump to be too successful, otherwise Paul Ryan could not defeat him in 2020. 
      Doesn't it make sense that anybody running for president should not be part of the current administration for at least 2 years before the election? 
      Consider the 2020 election with Paul Ryan running for president.  Can you seriously believe that Ryan would be acting in Trump's best interests at the same time he is trying to replace Trump?  Paul Ryan has already said quite a few negative things about Trump.  If you are going to blame anybody for failing to replace Obamacare.. blame Paul Ryan.

            He can only suggest it to Congress.. then they have to legislate it.. if you want to blame someone, blame Paul Ryan.
