Between the American Healthcare Act and the investigation into leaks and the Trump campaign's possible coordination with Russia, it feels like Washington DC is unraveling.

We're discussing the facts of FISA, Michael Flynn, and the AHCA failure.

This is Sarah from the left and Beth from the right.

You're listening to Pant suit politics.

No shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Today we are covering the failure of the healthcare bill and the pearls as well as attacks in London and Cincinnati, Ohio.

In a suit, we're going to talk about FISA, Michael Flynn, and where the investigation into the Trump administration stands.

And then in the heels, we're going to talk about what we're thinking about other than politics.

So we're kicking off the pearls with the discussion of the American Healthcare Act failure.

And I'm not saying this completely undoes our terrible job predicting the election, but hey, we both said this was going to fail and it did.

So there's one more in our column after the bad prediction that happened over the election.

Well, I think that's right. And I think that we had a good sense that it wasn't only going to fail, it wasn't even going to see the light of a vote, which is ultimately what happened at Paul Ryan's urging, according to most reporting, President Trump ultimately decided to just pull the bill from consideration.

So who are you think giving your biggest winners and biggest losers?

I think probably the biggest winners are the American people, because we're not going to be subjected to a half-assed attempt at reforming Medicaid under the guise of reforming healthcare.

Well, and there was a tweet where somebody was like, you know, they were on Medicaid and they had a disabled child or something.

I mean, there were people who were legitimately panicked and incredibly anxious and stressed about this perhaps going through. So, hooray for those people.

This just never made any sense. You know, from the beginning, it was critiqued on all sides. And I think that's because it was, it was hurried.

You know, the idea that they had spent seven years on this made no sense at any point. And so, I mean, I think I don't think anybody in Washington, D.C. looks great coming out of this though.

I mean, Paul Ryan's ability to govern is certainly in question. The president looks like someone who doesn't have the attention span to talk about a piece of legislation for more than a few days without getting bored and pissed off and ready to move on to something else.

Democrats just kind of had to sit around and look pretty because they knew anyway this went down. It was good for them.

So, it was just, it was a pretty miserable failure of leadership period. You know, I think the moderate Republicans and the freedom caucus might have good things to say. But in the long run, this just looks like you can't give Republicans the keys because they don't know how to drive.

Somehow, I feel like, I don't know if I'd call him a winner, but Mitch McConnell, because this died on the house and it's all being laid at Paul Ryan's feet primarily, seems to come out a little bit ahead compared to some other Republicans.
