“Has he apologized yet?”

Don’t care and neither do most people in this country. If Trump believes that statist health care is good, I’m glad there are people that will fight him and not roll over and wet on themselves.

More than half of the remaining members of the House Freedom Caucus are still #NeverTrump...

This sounds like Fake News.

I only know of one NeverTrump House Freedom Caucus member, and that's Amash.

Any others? Anybody?

Are you paying an additional $8k/year for health insurance? Did you lose your doctors, pediatricians, clinics, preferred hospital?

Kill the ACA.

I am so disappointed with Amash...he could have been HELPING conservatives WIN but instead chooses to vent his anger against outsider Trump.

The GOP was not behind Trump—that is old news.

All I know is, the FC saved the GOP from a horrible bill that would not have repealed Ocare as President Trump promised.

Demonizing the FC at this point has no purpose except to wrongly tar them as the reason the bill went down in flames.

There were plenty of RINOs who were not going to vote for the bill—the Tuesday group—why are they not being demonized as well?

Truth is, the FC was willing to compromise and already had on some key items, but Ryan and Priebus pulled the rug out from under them.

So, let’s out the blame where it truly belongs.

IMHO, you are a dissembling, major league a@@hole. You claim that the Freedom Caucus (with its 33 members) put Ryan in his position. The Freedom Caucus is a small percentage of the 247 Republican members in the House doing the best they can to leverage their small numbers so as to protect conservative, constitutional values.

TAKE YOUR DESPICABLE ANTI-CONSERVATIVE JIHAD ELSEWHERE!

Dear J4J:

Please list those FC members who are not Open Borders/Pro Amnesty and who valiantly fought Obamacare so we know whom you are talking about...

And then let us see the Freedom Caucus’ new healthcare bill.

Until then, this is NeverTrumpGOPe abusing the words “freedom” and “conservative”

Hoft sure hates him some Ted Cruz.

Hoft runs Gateway Pundit, not Conservative Treehouse.

Please list the “conservatives” in the FC who are not pro Amnesty or open borders and who fought Obamacare valiantly...

Then we can understand your definition of “conservative”.

So far, my money is on 0-16.

Trump already gotten several wins on his EOs. Billions of dollars of regulations have been rolled back.

Trump is playing with all of you fools.

Don't be fooled by his tweets against the FC. This is to throw the media off their game and think he's "moderating." But the truth is, the FC will get together with the RINOs and pass a better Obamacare replacement bill.

This is Trump telling the FC to work together and get the ball rolling. There is not going to be a full repeal folks, at least not in the short term. Even the 2015 Obamacare repeal bill was NOT a full repeal bill.

I was a strong opponent of Ryancare, and of course Ryan. But Trump needs a notch on his belt. Tax reform, NAFTA, and the budget are all up on deck.

The next Obamacare repeal/replace bill will be MUCH BETTER. But the FC will still oppose it. That's why Trump is (faux) attacking the FC. This is another negotiating tactic.

Freedom Caucus poised to back Ryan as speaker

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/freedom-caucus-paul-ryan-speaker-231218

So we have Freedom Caucus members backing Paul Ryan and refusing to support Trump in the general election against Hillary. These are your conservative warriors? Ok.

All that has to happen is that the HFC needs to get an 0bamacare repeal bill before the House for a vote.

It's not on someone OUTSIDE of the House to press the HFC-endorsed House Speaker to do anything.

That is just BS. It is very likely this will now end with single payer. If they had passed rinocare, stages two and three would have been campaign issues in 2018. Now dems will be running on single payer. Once obumber care collapses, many voters will be hurt and looking for an easy out. The fc is nothing more then CofC bought and paid for stooges. Just wait and see how they act with immigration and tax cuts.

Trump is saying he’ll work with the democrats. How many of them were pro Trump?

President Trump and all his blind apologists need to realize that a “huge” number of Republicans didn’t vote for his business reputation, big personality, his nice family, or his legendary hair. They voted for him because they liked his stated positions in the primary and general elections. Governing against those positions will lead to defeats for Trump and Republicans, in general. For the umpteenth time, the Freedom Caucus is not his enemy.
