Logical fallacy: No True Scotsman, demonization.

I’m pretty sure that most of us ‘cultists’ wouldn’t cheer at all for Ryancare in general. Some of us, however, viewed it as a potential starting point. Or at least a shell that we could scoop out and replace with something better, much like the Dems did for the original Obamacare. (Except in their case it was really bad in both cases)

It’s not being a hypocrite or a liberal to want to see what happens with a bill in committee or reconciliation, and it’s not being a hypocrite to think that it’s possible to negotiate that crap into something acceptable.

And the excoriating conservatives was (likely) a direct result of the fact that the members of the HFC looked Trump in the face and lied through their teeth about their support, not about support or lack of support in themselves.

Demonizing we so-called cultists doesn’t move anyone to your side; it’s only gonna provoke angry replies.

Not sure how a discussion on RINOcare got into a tax post, but ..

I’ll just say that if you believed that Paul RINO and his band of GOPe frauds would have EVER gotten to “phase two” and “phase three,” then I have a plot of swampland to present for your consideration. THAT is the reason that the HFC stood firm against big- government GOPe hack, Paul RINO’s “0bamacare-Forever.”
