So now we are throwing the FC under the bus for the sake of Trump?
When does this madness end? Seriously, what is the direction we (FR) are taking here?
Pinging the owner because I think this is reaching insane levels of spin.
No, we’re not.
But there is not now, was not yesterday, and WILL NOT BE TOMORROW, enough votes for the kind of repeal that we all want. Regardless of how many times they took a show vote for the home team to keep their seats.
But when it came to vote for real, we learned about the real political positions of many GOP members. Whether it was members hoping to keep their Tribal/Alaskan health care carve-outs, or members preserving the Medicaid expansion for their governors (an originalist position, I might add!) or a genuine disagreement over subsidies, etc.
Don’t misunderstand me, here: I think the Ryan bill was pure crap, and I agree with Newt that the FC probably saved the GOP majority.
But, it’s gonna take longer than 70 days to come up with a bill to satisfy them and get enough votes.
And it shouldn’t begin with a guy who was regularly meeting with the insurance companies, and kept the bill hidden as part of the Witness Protection Program.

People have to realize that the Freedom Caucus are the only ones who are trying to do the right thing. Ryan cannot be trusted and only cares about holding on to his power. He, like the left, wants to see Trump fail. Trump is not getting good advice and Priebus is at the top of that list.
