When you can achieve some agenda victories and not make noise on temporary spending taking all of THREE MONTHS!
Trade off by destroying progress on the biggest two agenda items now: repealing/replacing Obamacare and tax reform for a war over a three month temporary spending bridge.
Yeah, I think common sense prevails here. Hold your fire FTW, not for the undoing of the entire agenda. SMH.

Correct. POTUS can only fight so many nuclear wars at once. Sadly, those tantruming in this thread can’t see the forest through the trees. That they didn’t learn a thing after the travel ban fiasco shows they will never learn, IMO.
The only reason there's even a discussion about repealing/replacing Obamacare right now is that a coalition of conservative members of Congress refused to sign onto a disgraceful bill that neither repealed nor replaced Obamacare -- and yet had the full public support of Donald Trump.
For that, they were publicly criticized by Trump. And one of the key points of his criticism was the way he blamed them for refusing to support a bill that allegedly defunded Planned Parenthood.
And now he's running around supporting an appropriations bill that -- well, continues to fund Planned Parenthood.
I have no criticism of Trump here. But I have all the respect in the world for the Freedom Caucus members who stood their ground on the Obamacare repeal, and who will hopefully stand their ground against this appropriations bill. Surely they recognize when they're dealing with someone who is completely full of sh!t half the time he opens his mouth.
P.S. -- I'm still a big fan of Trump here, so nobody should waste their time calling me a "Never Trumper."
