FC and I don’t lay this at Trump’s door.

But I am dissapointed he called out FC this weekend about it.

I support both of them. I still wish Priebus would go away.

I’m glad the FC caucus stuck to their guns and saved Trump and the US from the terrible Ryancare bill. I don’t hold anything against Trump on this (yet, anyway) and I very much hope he sees that the FC folks saved him from shooting himself in the foot.

I support the Freedom Caucus, and I still believe that President Trump has the potential to be the greatest President in my lifetime (I am a child of the 1950s).

FC. I didn’t know what was in the bill. All I had was hints.

I didn’t want another “You’ll have to wait until we pass it to see what’s in it” bill. What was the rush?

I blame Ryan primarily, but Trump has responsibility for trusting him to lead this and the FC has responsibility for voting him Speaker.

I support killing the bill.
Trump wouldn’t allow a building with his name on it to be as faulty as the bill put forward by Ryan and Co.

I didn’t trust either faction. I was glad when Trump called for an up or down vote on Friday and then decided to move on when Ryan pulled the bill. Hopefully they’ll come back with something better.

I voted for Trump and I have more faith in him than the “Freedom Caucus”.

Most of them have either supported Paul Ryan and John Boehner when they voted for Speaker of the House and had a chance to prevent either from becoming Speaker.

Opposing leadership seems a day late, a dollar short and sort of phony on Obamacare.

The so-called “Conservative Movement” and talk hosts are part of the anti-Russia Globalist camp like Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.

Trump tweeted against the Globalist, cheap labor “Club for Growth” outfit yesterday along with the “Freedom Caucus”.

He also mentioned another inside the beltway outfit “The Heritage Foundation”.

The fake conservatives talk tough, then support the GOP Establishment and I suspect they are plotting to hurt Trump because “Open Borders for Cheap Labor” is their endgame.

Trump could already play this to his advantage, no matter what happened.

If he got the bill, he would have front-loaded tax reforms with the “future savings.”

If it got to the Senate and died, he could talk about how useful Ryan the @-Hole was to pushing it so far.

If it doesn't pass the House, then he just makes it look like a dry run and that Ryan and the House were at fault for not having something that could quickly pass, like all those prior 0care repeals did so well. He can also make it look like he has more in common with the Dems that are attacking him than they would ever have thought.

Trump, and therefore, this country, had a bunch of “win-wins” involved.

What makes you think it’s an either/or?

Encourage both. They need to work out a solution. Pitting one side against the other hands a win to the Dems.

Don’t play that game.

The bill was crap. Trumps tweet hurt him a bit. Gone was the hard eyed critic of business as usual.

A Poll, did you support Trump or Freedom Caucus?

That's a strangely couched question, because it's entirely legitimate to support both.

For instance, I supported the HFC's opposition to the bill, and I also supported the President's decision to move on, and not drag out the negotiations indefinitely in an act of desperation.

Perhaps it would have been better to have a vote, even if it failed, because then everyone would have been on record.

If the question was "Do you support the House Freedom Caucus or Paul Ryan", it would make much more sense, but trying to conflate elements of the legislative branch with the President just doesn't correspond, IMHO.

Don't forget the Freedom Caucus gave the President a standing ovation in their most recent meeting.

So your poll is weird.

It's important to distinguish between rhetoric which is put out for the public's consumption, versus what really happens behind the scenes...
