Republicans who opposed the health care bill showed they neither fear nor love the president.
Rick Klein and Shushannah Walshe: President Trump is coming off of a week where he lost both credibility and control. He also lost something that is harder to define and may be harder to restore: the mystique of power. Since November, even Trumps harshest critics had to recognize his political talents, which show in two ways: The seemingly unbreakable connection and communications link he has with a loyal block of voters, and the deal-making skills that grew his brand all the way to the presidency. But the Republicans who opposed the health care bill showed they neither fear nor love the president.
That turns the question to the consequences: In the Trump playbook, look for a power move something that goes beyond tweets and executive orders. If were ever going to be tired of all the winning, the Trump White House needs some victories as attention turns to tax reform and other big agenda items.
