Requirements for being in the “freedom” caucus:

2. have good establishment potential
3. be terrified of the democrats
I am a very avid Trump supporter. If it came down to it I’d stop whatever I was doing on FR and go my own way if the tables ended up we have to dump Trump.
That said, I don’t give one rat’s patootie about who or what this healthcare thing is tagged with. RyanCare, TrumpCare or whatever.
I wanted negotiation and it appears to me I did not get that. Instead, I get what a lot of I see is pent-up “I didn’t want Trump as the nominee” and a whole lot of carping, thrashing and whining.
WE have a job to do and that is to get as much out of these few years as possible and to force these bastard RINOs into submission and take back control of our government. It is not in our purview with limited influence to throw a wrench and say “do or die” or else. The POWER to do that is NOT there. Only to possibly deter the side with the better motives.
This debacle is a real problem here at FR, I think and I really don’t know if we’ll all survive it, but I know what side I’m gonna come down on. I went all-in after having supported Cruz and then saw the light. I’m gonna stick with that because I haven’t seen any better, even with all this “principle.”
