If the bill had passed, it would have gone to the Senate which would have kicked it back to Conference with amendments.

The Freedom Caucus killed not the bill, but the entire process.

When the bill came back to conference, the Freedom Caucus could have pushed for their amendments or killed the bill in Conference.

They kill any chance for the bill.

They are purists who demand their way or the highway.

“The Freedom Caucus killed not the bill, but the entire process.”

That was the right thing to do, as each step of the process would have made the bill worse. It was great to kill it in the house, because that was as good as it was going to get, before going downhill quickly.

They also killed Trump tax cut plan sinking the bill. Everything is interconnected. I realize the checkers playing dupes of the FC can’t see past tomorrow but that is the fact. We’ll be dealing with this consequences of this betrayal on a daily basis for the rest of the Trump admin.
