What Trump just did with this was box in Establishment republicans. They now have nothing o run on. This opens up the freedom Caucus to field candidates to primary RINO’s.

Sorry, but that remains to be seen.

The thinking by Trump apologists that this "frees up the conservatives and boxes in the GOPe" is a genuine marvel of delusional thinking.

Here's how it's going to actually go in the Caucus:

GOPe/RINO's: "We want X, Y, and Z".
Conservatives: "Nope. Not going to do that. No Amnesty."
GOPe/RINO's: "OK, fine. Trump is already dealing with the Commies. We'll cut a deal with them, too. We've offered you the best deal you're going to get."

That's what's going to happen. Trump has now allowed the Dems to cut the GOP in half, and the half he's empowered is the LEFT half. So much for "9-Dimensional Chess."
