The way some freepers (and President Trump) are carrying on about the Freedom Caucus, I guess they would rather that we had left Eric Cantor in office so that they could have passed Rubio’s amnesty in the summer of 2014 to get the issue off the table as planned to clear the way for Yeb! and there would have been no President Trump.

Democrats aren’t going to help him.

Although I can understand his frustration, because the GOP doesn’t seem capable of doing anything.

This is how all this seems to me.
House "leadership" did not want a repeal of maoBamaCare, so they poisoned the bill. It has just enough toxins for Conservatives to balk but not so much to cause Trump to balk. When the Freedom Caucus and other Conservatives refused to play, Ryan made Trump feel that he was on his side in the deal. Ryan was then able to paint the Freedom Caucus as the enemy.

The Freedom Caucus IS the enemy of Paul Ryan. This was a brilliant move to isolate conservatives so that GOPe could continue their gravy train and "sensible" government. The enemy is not the demonRats...they were defeated at the ballot. The enemy of Liberty and limited government is the entrenched interests..i.e. GOPe.

Trump is extremely tone deaf to think conservatives are the problem. Wow. He got elected BY conservatives; not mushy moderates.

what the hell is he thinking?

Granted, yet now there will be no President Trump in 2020 unless Dave Brat and the rest of his caucus vote as Republicans instead of Republicans in Name Only. They need to make the best deal and vote with the Republican Caucus.

It is like selling your house. The first couple is perfect and you really want to sell them the house but they are so picky that they cannot make a deal. Then, when they ask for concessions and you grant them they come back asking for more concessions. Meanwhile another couple, to whom you would prefer not to sell, comes by and makes a deal. Who gets the house ?

One deal that would turn politics on its head would be if the man President Trump keeps meeting with makes a compromise offer and does the deal. It would turn Washington DC and the entrenched political alliances on their head if the President can pull off a deal with the Congressional Black Caucus. They have more votes than freedom caucus and would completely neuter Nancy Pelosi if they split off for a side deal that helps their constituency first.
