Texas Republican Ted Poe Quits Freedom Caucus Over Their #NeverTrump Intransigence…
Conservative Treehouse ^

Posted on 03/26/2017 2:50:01 PM PDT by hotsteppa

Texas Republican Congressman Ted Poe has announced he is giving up membership in Hillary’s Favorite Caucus over their unwillingness to support President Trump:

“I have resigned from the House Freedom Caucus,” Poe said in a statement. “In order to deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward. Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do.

Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective Member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead.” “Some only want to be the party of ‘no’ & would’ve voted against the 10 commandments,”

Congressman Poe’s exit from #NeverTrump leaves 29 remaining members.

Good post indeed and something the average CNN watching idiot would never consider. You’ve summarized the FC section of “The Swamp” and they have clearly identified themselves as establishment career politicians who care not about their constituents other than what they must tell them to get elected.

Trump’s definitely playing the long game and it’s clear the winning couldn’t last forever. How he bounces back from his initial setbacks will be key. I have faith as he is clearly trying to clean house of the traitors and has to do so without his full team in place, even after all this time. Republicans have screwed him there as well but in the end he who laughs last always laughs best.

‘If they’d had a mind to do it, they could have engaged in negotiations in order to get more of what they wanted, but I personally didn’t see much in the way of negotiation.

Do you not understand that Ryan allowed no amendments?

It is amazing to me that as well informed as Freepers are, we are still divided over whether cr@p tastes better from Ryan than it did from Obama.

“The Freedom Caucus could also be viewed as the body that just saved ObamaCare.”

I trust Trump far more than Ryan or the Freedom Caucus.

I like how he moved on. He's not lingering over the wound, he's just letting others do that while he presses on with the agenda.

I do know this is very complicated with shares of the blame going to all. I hope they can get it together down the road. I doubt that Trump is finished with this, he's just going to regroup when necessary.

I am so thankful he is President right now, no one else could handle this stuff half as well.

It’s time for Trump to stop the nonsense and start ruling like a combination of Lincoln/Pinochet on steroids.

It is what I hoped for because I don't think there is any other solution. I won't live long enough to see the complete destruction or resurrection in any case, so I should quit worrying about it.

Good, now enjoy obumbercare for the rest of your life.

You act like RyanCare would have changed that, it wouldn't have.

But they also get credit for keeping ObamaCare and for Planned Parenthood getting to kill another 320,000 babies in the next year on the government dime.

If you think that provision was going to make the cut you are deluded. Both parties are all in for abortion no matter what they say or it would already be gone, at least the part where we have to pay for it.

That quote came from a different poster.

Nevertheless , a quick search turned this up:

Collins’ Medicaid amendment now part of GOP health bill

2017-03-21 | The Buffalo News

‘Collins’ amendment bars states from shifting Medicaid costs onto the counties outside of New York City. If they did so, states could lose federal funding equal to the amount they charge counties.’

First, it's not what "I see it as ..." that matters.
"Words" have meaning, and those meanings are firm, and not up to debate as most liberals would have you believe.

Second, many people have already proven that Trump's ACTIONS and his WORDS clearly define him as a socialist.

It has noting to do with "As anyone see it".
Rather, it's ALL ABOUT Trump's demonstrated behavior, and the definition of types of government.


Now that I've made that clear, you can look up the different types of government yourself and see where Trump fits in.
But really, all you need to do is research his support (or lack thereof) of the United States of America's Constitution.

Now that being said, all I'm interested in ... is ... the truth, plain and simple.

Of what little I caught of Rush today, he covered the subject very well ... of how he perceived what Trump and his administration's strategy is.
(That article really is worth your time, even though it's very long.)
Let's go three quarters of the way into that article.
SO, what I think is ... the Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows and his gang are the path to FREEDOM from that disaster that ObamaCare is,
and RyanCare was only going to make it worse !
Trump was "MAKING A DEAL" and we, the citizens of the United States, were going to get screwed !
Just THANK GOD that the Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows and his gang SAVED US from that disaster !

Thanks for the moral support.
I need it, in order to get these Trumpsters out of their emotions, and into LOGIC.

In order to deliver on the conservative agenda we have promised the American people for eight years, we must come together to find solutions to move this country forward. Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do.


Gee I thought they were elected for the first few years to REPEAL...then the word ‘REPLACE’ was added...seems all of a sudden, we are just replacing/tweaking, etc...behold Obamacare-lite.

Where does the Constitution give the government the right to control 1/6 of the US economy? Where does it say government can control my healthcare?

Government involvement is not conservative.

Socialism is alive and well in the Republican Party. Obamcare and Ryancare are in no way conservative...that is why so many of us here tried so hard to fight it in 2009!!
