The freedom caucus was and is nothing but talk.
Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. We must blame the conservatives for doing such a horrible, unthinkable thing: defending liberty and standing on principles.
If it was.
No difference between liberal republicans and “freedom” caucus.
Good question, more liberal Republicans (Democrats in R jerseys) were running away from Ryancare as there were conservatives opposed to it.
But we have to eliminate conservatives from Congress..../s
A lot of Freepers have latched onto a notion that President Trump attacked the FG and therefore he attacked conservatives.
But I understand the FC is half made up of #NeverTrumpers.
In all likelihood, the President was likely directing his fire at Cruz Bot NeverTrumpers.
OTOH my own logic direction is confounded because the Ryancare AHCA was a turd to begin with.
We’ll revisit this battle again with the CINC leading the way.

Repeal Obamacare (and Obama)
don’t replace it with Ryancare or anything else. Not the fed govt’s job to mess with individual health care and decisions of Americn citizens.
Repeal, darnit!

Why would we want to blame anyone for a GOOD outcome?
Why aren’t Democrats, who claim that they’ve been trying for years to fix problems with ObamaCare, properly assigned blame for not helping fix the problem they had to pass to find out what the problems were inside?
Where do they stand on the President's illegal immigration crackdown? Stripping The EPA of its regulatory power? Tax cuts? The Keystone XL Pipeline?
Pick any other Trump decision or agenda item. If The HFC is so anti-Trump, where else are they blocking his agenda from advancing.
Now, as for DemonicRATS, where do they stand on President Trump's agenda?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Socialsm Sucks!
When so called conservatives voted to keep lying Ryan speaker they sold out!!!
I think it was Koch’s interference that turned this into a little war. He was paying his minions to go against the bill, which Ryan put together in secret as a fait accompli— this is very complicated chess. But Meadows we should have stayed far away from Koch.
1) Because blaming the HFC & selling the idea of a GOP Civil War sells more papers & gets better ratings.
2) Because people who ordinarily consider themselves "conservative" but want to preserve socialized health care let the MSM get away with #1.
Of those, only 18 are members of the Freedom Caucus.
Interesting. I had seen numbers that there were closer to 100 Repubs who would vote No.
Anyway - this we know is the reason why Ryan pulled the vote twice last week. And how convenient it was for Trump and the RINO's to blame the HFC.
Because the Snake Ryan, who ENGINEERED the failed bill, WANTS it that way!
That is why he didn’t call for a floor vote. So no one would notice the bleeding heart RINOs and Republican cowards who are afraid to offend Obama’s Minority Status by torpedoing his signature legislation.
By not calling for a floor vote to identify the people who would reject this bill, and by extension, NEARLY ANY BILL to rescind Obama’s Signature Legislation, Ryan hoped to discredit the House Freedom Caucus and alienate Trump from his base.
READ MY TAGLINE.
Why are “moderate” Republicans even supporting RuanCare is a better question. RyanCare is a Leftist piece of garbage.
