Come on, people now; smile on your brutha, everybody get together, gonna love one another right now!
2 Corinthians 6:14-17King James Version (KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Without the support of the 36-member Freedom Caucus, Speaker Paul Ryan decided not to bring the president’s bill to the floor of the House for a vote, effectively killing the measure at least for the immediate future.
____________________________________________
This statement is a lie. There were not 36 members in the HFC. Maybe 30. And of those 30 - only 18 remained opposed to TrumpCare.
And as we now know - the HFC had NOTHING to do with Ryan pulling the vote. It was moderate GOP-e Repubs and other assorted RINO’s
But Trump and Ryan had to find someone to blame. And blaming the HFC was easy.
Until we learned they weren’t at fault.
Just keep Paul Ryan out of it. Trump and the Freedom Caucus shouldn’t be fighting each other. They both have the same enemies, namely the mainstream media, Hollywood, the far left crazies and the Democrats.
It’s insane for Trump to be picking a public fight with the Freedom Caucus, his most natural allies. He’s either getting some REALLY bad advise from his damn family members or he’s ignoring good advice from Bannon and Conway.
Just be sure that we wont have communist heathcare like was put forward in RINOCARE.
These conversations should have taken place the first time around. That they weren’t, cost Trump and Republicans as a movement for reform and swamp draining. Personally I think that the Speaker did what he did intentionally to hobble any kind of conservative free market leadership in Congress. Once R’s have a solution that brings meaningful improvements (ie market-based cost savings) to health care, they need to hold public hearings and sell the plan to the People. Any Obamacare collapses in the meantime belong to D’s and D’s only. There will need to be some stopgap accommodation for those affected by Obamafailure. Let’s sell a sustainable private health system!
My man Pence showing real leadership.
Take notes.
For our nation:
agreement for comity, breeds comedy
agreement on substance, brings sustenance
A truce is easy:
Repeal Obamacare - a real repeal - or issue so many executive orders that the law becomes irrelevant if you can’t get a full repeal through Congress (I’d go nuclear to do that though).
Deport illegals by the tens of thousands every month, and ramp up from there.
Appoint more judges just like Gorsuch.
Shrink the actual size of FedGov.
Stop the refugee programs administratively, or through other means, despite the overreach of black-robed thugs who order otherwise.
Interesting how Fox wants readers to believe that a bill originating in the House somehow belongs to the President. Well, no, if it belongs to anybody, it belongs to Paul Ryan.
Imho, it is a good idea to work together to defeat a common enemy.
Trust is the key that makes it possible.

trump and pence should not have taken sides
they should have told repuyblicans to work it out amonsgst themselves and get trump a bill to sign.
BTW I hope that trump realizes— most of the freedomn caucus would not knee jerk oppose trump. Where as ryan and his rinos want trump to fail. I think he sees that now though.
All the FC supporters here just don’t get it. Who cried mercy?? The FC, not Trump. This is pure Trump AOTD. Go read it, you might learn something.
Good, the feud is ended, the work resumes.
Quite frankly, if Pence was doing his job, there would be no need for an apology to anyone at this point.
He was the point person for this repeal and replacement, and it should never have been rolled out in the manner Ryan rolled it out.
Pence has been in Congress—he should have recognized Ryan was trying to steamroll Trump with horrible legislation.
This whole debacle could have been avoided.
The question remains why it was not.
Negotiations continuing apace. Pence in his starring role as Tom Hagen.
Next step....delivering an offer to the Ryano faction that they can’t refuse.
Not a fan of AHCA, but I think we’ll get as good of a deal as can be had.
Watch a maestro in action.
I don’t see the Freedom Caucus ever supporting Obamacare Lite.
Good. Thank you, Pence and hopefully Trump too.
