Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

Wow, that’s really going to help.
Yeah, don’t know how smartit is for Trump to attack the people he is attacking, unless his goal is a 15% approval rating.
THe HFC is backed by some nefarious characters.man want Obamacare because that’s what their donors want..they want the stalemate
THe HFC voted for Paul Ryan? Why? They want stalemate just as the Dino’s do..not all of them but enough of them
Hummm, does make you wonder? A deal for the sake of a deal isn’t really a deal worth having, is it?
I am a yuge Trump supporter, but in this case he is WRONG! The blame rests on Ryan, Priebus and the ever present Demonrats disguised as “moderate” Republicans. Trump needlessly squanders political capital by trashing the very same members of Congress who are his most consistent supporters.
Did you actually READ the RynoCare bill?
Please do so now, and then apologize to the Freedom Caucus and THANK THEM for saving you and the Republic from having RynoCare hung around our necks.
You mean the same HFC that had the power to deny Ryan the speakership but voted him in anyway??
It is true, we will never have the great opportunity to defund PP as we had on this bill. That one is out the window. Nobody is ever going to get everything they want. Ryan was an idiot for the way he handled things and the Freedom Caucus was selfish and unreasonable for the way they handled it too. You go into negotiation with your offer, when it’s accepted you keep your word. That didn’t happen, every time they won a point they came up with another.
The thing is, all of them have to understand how the world works. You live with people with different ideas so you go for as much as you can get, but you have to be smart enough to know when you are not going to get any more.
Well, he’s right. Could have taken a big bite out of Obamacare, but FC blocked it on the gamble that Democrat support for it will collapse as the system collapses. It will collapse and its support will collapse, but the reality is the only changes they’ll accept are single payer/public option.
Imagine if a Progressive Caucus blocked Obamacare in 2009, insisting on Medicare for all and nothing less. We should be so lucky, but Democrats play the long game, taking gains where they can get them, while the GOP is the stupid party.
Anyone still think Ryan is going anywhere? Yeah right it’s all the FC’s fault. Ryan keeps this POS locked up then tries to shove it through but hey it’s all the FC’s fault. BS. They could have fixed a couple of the worst flaws and gotten FC on board but didn’t. Had they just thrown insurance sold across state lines that would been enough in
the end but no..
Do you think he does not have a plan? Do you not think he knows Ryan was not his ally? Do you not think he has no standby plan? The fact they did not re-run the 2015 repeal does not tell you something? Did you think he was going to drain the swamp with the willing assistance of the swamp to be drained?
Has everyone here gone s short sighted they have to Join Ryan in this whole mess? Long ball friends, long ball.
Not just that but given the cast of characters...... Which side do you want to be on? Ryan’s? Ick!
Trump will be down to 40% in a week. He’s crapping on the very people who were enthusiastic and joining at the hip with those who wanted to destroy his candidacy. Dumb. Just dumb.
Let the truth come out and the chips fall where they may.
The Bush’s came into office with 90% approval ratings they mean almost nothing at this point.
The failure to scale back Obama care is because of them and if they feel it was such the right thing to do why should they worry.
But Trump is not going to just stop pushing repeal and replace and needs to soften up his opposition.
VETERANS are smiling that we won’t be forced into the VA gulag in that bill! What kind of person stands before CMH winners while his bill forces veterans into the VA gulag. No other group targeted in his Management Amendment. Thank God again for Rep Meadows. A bill we have to pass to see what’s in it wasn’t well received the last time.
No your not a Trump supporter when your in opposition to him your logic is flawed.
Well, it is a true statement.
Trump was going to do it piecemeal, now Obamacare sits unchanged.
Trump values loyalty, and now knows he can’t depend on any from the Republicans.
I’m still waiting for the Donald to back away from “replace.” He gets it everywhere else, cutting regs and red tape. But the idea that obamacare has to be replaced with a new set of government rules misses the point of the entire movement that put him in office.
