I agree completely. If Trump thinks he can find better allies than the Freedom Caucus among the Democrats (and I include Ryan among them), he’s seriously mistaken.
Honestly, I see trumps position on this whole issue as in line with one of the reasons I did not want him to win the nomination of the R party. Thing is, he WILL depart from the conservatives on issues and the question I’ve been asking since 2015 is, how will you feel when Trump is president and you are his political enemy on an issue? It will happen. It may be happening now.
Those citizens will now and in the future hold President Trump responsible for any further watering down of their demands to repeal and replace "Obamacare"--a concept which was and is a Progressive Trojan Horse hiding the Progressive attempt to take over a significant portion of the U. S. economy and bypassing the Constitution's limits.
Now is the time to remind the President that, if he wants to create jobs, opportunities, and freedom for America--Make America Great Again--then he must open up that Progressive Trojan Horse, show it for what it is, explain it to the American people, and put the pressure on Ryan and McConnell so that the Legislative Branch is not allowed to overpower, appropriate, and dilute the wishes of "the People" who elected him to carry out their wishes!
President Reagan would have done no less!
