Some free market reforms? Ryancare was as bad or worse than what we have now.

HFC saved everyone’s butts. If ryancare had passed it would be hung around Trump’s and the repubtard’s necks.

These lazy bums in Congress haven’t passed or been restrained by a budget in years. $10,000,000,000,000,000 overspend in 4 years. Irresponsible criminal jerks.

Yes and that’s why the freedom caucus shouldn’t fall into the Trap of letting nothing being done when some free-market reforms could be introduced into the system.

I think given what has been done to date, some would rather Trump fail than accomplishing anything... I have already read some pointing the finger to 'republicans' giving Trump the nomination... even here on FR the smug in name only Conservatives are spewing bash at 'liberal' Trump... one even pointed that Trump putting his daughter in an advisory position caused this mess...

Right now, there is NOT one of these 'freedom caucus' members that I find actually 'conservative'...

I stand with the FC, Lyin Ryan said they would “REPEAL” OC. That bill did not repeal anything, it was a fix. Next year they would have fixed it some more.

The problem with doing nothing being the Republican specialty is that this is the exact mechanism they use to piss off their base enough to hand power back to the Demonrats.

They mind the store while the Demonrats are in disfavor just long enough to infuriate the public enough to put the Demonrats back in charge.

And then the Republicans go back to their other specialty, pretending to be an opposition party.

This is a never ending cycle that benefits no one but the government.

Some Truths about the House Freedom Caucus

There are a few people here on FR that are lying through their teeth. The HFC is NOT never-Trump, though some did not want him to win the nomination. That is not exactly rare; many here felt the same way. However, most HFC guys did endorse Trump after the nomination, or when it became clear he would win. And none, zero, are currently saying they are "never Trump." If anyone has proof otherwise, post it. Otherwise, you are a liar.

Did the HFC vote for Ryan? Most of them probably. There is no way to actually verify (their membership list is secret). But so did everyone else! The truth is the HFC held their nose and reluctantly voted for Ryan, as they did not want to get into a big speaker fight right before Trump was sworn in. Though I loathe Ryan, I would probably have done the same thing. There were serious discussions behind the scenes of doing it anyway, but they held their noses and voted after Trump indicated he wanted Ryan to stay. But rest assured, Ryan's no friend of the HFC, and vice versa. Blaming the HFC for Ryan being speaker is not just disingenuous, it is a smarmy weasel Sidney Blumenthal pajama-boy type fabrication of the type we despise libs for doing.

The HFC got rid of Boehner.

The Republicans need to be be drained from the swamp, too...

Well, now Obamacare is still there and the Pubs own it. But I’m sure the nevertrumper HFC are safe in gerrymandered districts. Let’s celebrate! Woo-hoo!

Trump is going to break the caucus. There will be people who “stay strong” but he’ll splinter the group and make them even less effective than they already are. I for one am on board with hearing moderate Democratic ideas and make the bill bi-partisan so it isn’t demagogued forever.

What?

How is passing a health care bill that does nothing to lower costs going to help anyone?

Repeal and repeal only !! We don't need ryancare or any other government replacement. Get the hell out of our business !

yea but the point is people are acting as if the HFC makes up his base. No, they have hated him since the primaries. People act like he’s not allowed to attack them because they are on his team. No, they also constitute the enemy.

The fact that they were nevertrumpers means they didn’t get it. So go to the back of the line.

Trump will take the Freedom Caucus, put them in a camel clutch, break their back and make them humble!
