The Freedom Caucus is NOT the enemy. Trump needs to figure out that he is on the wrong side of this issue and stop threatening the one group who saved us all....including him....from a big disaster.

Pronto.

Our local Mark Belling talk show host (who sits in for Rush at times) read the list of FC members the other day, one by one and about 1/2 were Never Trumpers. Odd also that one of our House of Rep. fellows I spoke with personally, the Friday night of the vote, said he was so frustrated that all this was happening in the open and that Ryan was NOT doing his job well keeping the cats rounded up. The Bill WAS bad, was in favor of the Insurance Companies, left the IRS in charge, the “penalties” were paid TO the insurance companies. What??

Newt mentioned why the rush? Get it RIGHT first behind closed doors. Ryan doesn’t want this. Ryan needs to go. Do you see anyone going off the reservation for Stretch Pelosi? She has total control of her house Dems and she seems/acts senile most of the time.

Ryan is a problem, IMHO.

They have made themselves the enemy of governing and getting something done. The days of ideological litmus tests that don't actually change anything are over, it is time to influence as much as you can and go with it, else own Obamacare as it currently is.

Trump will be FORCED to deal with the Democrats, who probably will not support something Trump can agree to, but at least then he will have something to hang around their neck, causing them to re-own Obamacare. Thus, the conservatives and the liberals will be responsible for the status quo. Then Trump will be able to move on with at least some kind of positioning for 2018.

So, either the HFC deals and gets something done that is less than full repeal without replace, or Obamacare stays after Trump tries to deal with the Dems. One of the two. That is reality. Perhaps the latter is the better path ultimately, but it will result in pulling Trump to the center to get the rest of his agenda through, and the HFC's days of influence will have passed.
