I simply do not know how to respond to that. To call the Freedom Caucus "fake conservatives" is only rivaled by the absurdity of calling Mark Levin a fake conservative.
It was not the messenger, not Nathan Bedford, not Mark Levin, it was not the "globalists" and not the Freedom Caucus, that caused Donald Trump to break his own promises.
He supported a bill that forced vets into the VA system. He should have demanded that be taken out.
You made your point there, but regarding the aforementioned.
Most of those ‘Freedom Caucus’ members have a track record of voting to make either Ryan or Boehner Speaker of the House.
They did not vote against either which to me is a ‘litmus test’ of authentic Conservatism. They want to posture as “Conservative” while keeping the RINO leadership in power.
The talk show hosts are Never Trumpers and Russia Haters.
They are promoting the hatred of Russia ahead of the plans to finish off Assad in Syria once Islamic State is swept out of the picture in the coming months.
Russia will be the only force that could checkmate those intentions.
The Saudis are fighting Iran in Syria with their jihadists and fighting Iran in Yemen. Defense Secretary Mattis is ramping up support for the Saudi war effort, but it will be interesting to see how Trump reacts when escalation comes to Syria sometime down the road.
Trump supports Israel and speaks out against Iran, but does he want to be in conflict with Russia, the country that Beck and Levin the Never Trumpers hate so much.
The only beneficiaries of a diminished POTUS are GOPe and Dems. They will seize the agenda and Conservatives will get nothing. Be careful what you wish for.
I also think it’s dangerous to allow the democrats to rally and regroup.
It’s like the classic battle. When the other army retreats only a fool quits attacking — hound them, keep them confused, keep them in disarray, and destroy as much of their fighting ability and prestige as possible before they can regroup.
The only question is this: how best to destroy them?
