Actually No. Unfortunately, people have a very short memory. The FC was looking for a perfect bill from the get go. The FC ignored the fact that the public is looking for change NOW (even imperfect change) and they ignored the perception (right or wrong) that a failure to unite within the party would make them look impotent, unlike the democrats who at least are loyal to a cause.
The regular folks actually believed something would be done if Republicans had congress and the Presidency. We have been lied to over and over, and this defeat will last awhile. We’ve LOST ANY MOMENTUM we might have had, and that’s a hard thing to regain. Passing the bill in the House would have been solidarity sign to the people they represent that they do intend to make things better.
Those that say we can just repeal are incredibly naive. If you repealed, things can’t simply return to the way they were before Obamacare. Too much infrastructure has been changed, damaged or removed.
Previous repeal bills pushed forward were done for show only. The Republicans knew that if they ever got to Obama he would veto. I believe the current bill proposed was the best chance to make the “first move” in a longer term repeal/replace strategy. The FC F*&ded us all. Thanks for nothing......
Hey, Psy, long time, no see.
As I understand it, the Republican Study Group housed our conservatives until it was infiltrated by RINOs, then the Freedom Caucus bloomed in escaping from the RSG, Jim DeMint’s conservative group has bled out to other camps, it’s like the TEA Party infiltration.
Where are the good guys right now?
That’s an outright misinformation sound bite. They simply wanted one thing and one thing only. Go look up what that exact one thing was on their website and report back.
I’m not doing your homework for you.

The Freedom Caucus prevented the handover of our health care system to Insurance Campanies and Big Pharm, who helped create the problems in the first place.
There would be no Phase II and Phase III.
Ryan needs to go , he failed to include the Freedom Caucus in the legislative process, ignoring requests to present amendments.
This was an e-GOP attempt to hoodwink the People. And the Freedom Caucus stopped them cold, thank God.
President Trump backed the wrong horse.He must not abandon his representation of the People for the crooked Insurance Lobby and Big Pharm.
BRING COMPETITION ACROSS STATE LINES OR STFU!
