There’s more than the poster that are acting like cultist faggots and closing their eyes like we did with Bush.

Trump’s done GREAT things, the whole transgender repeal, upping military spending, deporting, slashing EPA and State dept. and other things.

He ####ed up BAD with that tweet. HE hit at the very people who think like we do.

Maybe these folks here didn’t read the name of the Board: FREE REPUBLIC.

A REPUBLIC shouldn’t have a MASSIVE health care law and a president who got into office LARGELY because of conservative support should be hitting at RINOs, not conservatives.

The personality cult taking hold is scary.

In fairness, as I’ve been saying, Trump did not run as a conservative on healthcare - never did. He ran as a populist. His plan involved opening up free markets but providing for those who couldn’t afford it. He said so multiple times. You can find an interview I linked to with Scott Pelley back in September of 2015. If you wanted a very conservative position on it, Trump wasn’t the candidate you wanted. Ironically, though, that’s one thing that probably helped him crack the blue wall and win. Trump can give the Freedom Caucus a good deal of what they want and move the goalposts in the right direction. As he opens up markets and brings back jobs, things will do well.

I think Trump needs to come out and explain where he is on healthcare to people because moderates and Dems who crossed over and voted for him as well as people who are on Obamacare who voted for him have a different idea than conservatives. I think Trump is right down the middle based on statements he made throughout the campaign and post election, but I think he needs to explain where he is and where he wants to go so all sides understand and don’t have unrealistic expectations.

That said, attacking the Freedom Caucus is not wise. The bill had a 17% approval rating and would have been disastrous for him if it didn’t succeed. Take time and start over taking input from all sides with a clear goal, promote it to the American people, and then pass it. It might take time, but do it right.

He needs to stop the infighting and realize that while he may be more moderate on healthcare, he has a lot of conservatives in his base who like these representatives and don’t like the bill. Campaigning against them could backfire. No, sit down and talk it out behind closed doors.
The media doesn’t need to watch this play out. The left loves it.

I agree that I supported Trump, voted for him, support him still, but I won’t be worshipping him like we did Bush around here. He can and will make mistakes and we need to hold him accountable.

You are out of line. I’ve seen your post over the last few months and you change with the wind. You need to work on that.

That’s something you’ve posted to which I can agree!

The Fed Gov’t. has no business trying to run the health insurance system.

Freedom Caucus doesn’t speak for me and I let my congressman know it.
I stand with Trump all the way!

Your name calling is way out of line!
