This was at least a first step, not great but at least moving in a direction. I see it as Newton's first law. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
” I have to live in a real world governed by sinful man. I can’t afford to live in POLITICALAND,”
Totally agree about the world governed by sinful man. But you are buying into the spin of sinful men who are entrenched in POLITICALAND. When men hold to right instead of expedience and convenience they should be supported. In my opinion the Freedom Caucus stood for right while others may not even have known what was in the bill they supported.
I don’t think my congressman, first term Jodey Arrington, had any foundational reason for support other than what the leadership told him. Bring it into the open and don’t try to force something down our throats. There are many people with great ideas. Ryan was operating out of fear and temperance which can only make things worse.
