If Justin Amash had gotten his way Trump would have cut and run last October, and Hillary would be president. He would probably love it since he could posture as a pure conservative and not have any responsibility to actually accomplish anything real.
All I know is I still can’t afford health insurance!
WOOOOOOO! YAY ME!
“...the Freedom Caucus is ...insisting that they are willing to work with President Trump to keep the GOPs promise to repeal Obamacare.”
Nothing wrong with that.
Way to come together there “R”s. All that effort to gain the White House and both houses and what do they do? Squanderville! Fidiots.
I have no doubt that if a Freedom Caucus healthcare bill came to Trump’s desk he would sign it.
[So did Rep. Labrador:
@realDonaldTrump Freedom Caucus stood with u when others ran. Remember who your real friends are. We’re trying to help u succeed. Raúl R. Labrador (@Raul_Labrador) March 30, 2017]
Wow... this is the biggest bunch of bulls—t I ever read!
Labrador was one of the more vocal anti-Trumpers the entire election!!
Nothing personal here. If the HFC had the numbers - Trump would back them. But they don’t. They are just about 30 or so goobers with the Ryan RINO’s numbering about 200.
Them pesky little conservatives were easier to take out than Pelosi and the democrats. Score one victory for Team Trump.
(Don’t flame me. I’m just adding perspective.)
President Trump, if you’re absolutely confident in your outright attacks on the HFC, I dare you...I double dare you to hold a rally. Come on, put your money where your big mouth is! You’re going to be in for a little surprise!
Standing strong is now complaining on twitter. Not exactly the tar heels at Shiloh.
These guys are full of shit. I can’t stand the Arab back-stabber Amash. They go after Trump and Bannon but were happy to support the amnesty-pimping traitor Paul Ryan as Speaker. It figures the globalist creep Mark Levin’s site CR would be their whining HQ.
Its hard to imagine what kind of health care bill that both Republicans and Democrats would vote for.
“Repeal Obama-care” is itself a slap in Dems face.
Other stuff maybe they can get something.
The budget might be passed the same as always, some Rs and some Ds.
Can the freedom caucus stop being such little babies and help out with things like the Hillary-Russia connection? Give it some air time?
HfC is Hillary’s Favorite Caucus at this point. Theres no chance the effort to save the country is better off today than last Friday despite Brat’s make believe.
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.

Some Truths about the House Freedom Caucus
In before, "The Kochs! The Kochs!!!"
The Republicans need to be be drained from the swamp, too...
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.
Trump will take the Freedom Caucus, put them in a camel clutch, break their back and make them humble!
God bless them—and shame on President Trump.
