Then engage and offer me a counterpoint.
Because from the reports I saw, the HFC never had any intention of making a deal; they kept changing their demands and then when Trump thought he had a deal, it turns out that they changed their minds again.
I’m not making moral judgments on their tactics here, but those WERE their tactics and they never denied it when accused, least as far as I can see!
And they got what they wanted, but they also got the consequences for their decision to use those specific tactics, and if Trump is using TBF strategy, they should have expected it.
I’m trying to be neutral and analyze both Trump and the HFC; I’m not going to knee-jerk against either party or make claims of morality. Maybe blowing their wad in order to scuttle Ryancare in the manner they did was worth it, but it DID bring them into conflict with Trump and his tweets have been perfectly consistent with the TBF strategy.
You want to argue, feel free, but if you don’t have any arguments other than to just gainsay me, why post at all?
There is no counterpoint to a false and baseless accusation. It’s like trying to prove a negative. In my opinion the caucus examined a bill, falsly purported to be a repeal, to which they had no part in design, and found they could not support it. No negotiation ever took place because the bill never even approached being a repeal. It was a pig in poke. It was a no sale.
