“”Saying no is easy, leading is hard, but that is what we were elected to do. Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead.””
So tell us Ted, just how would passage of this crap bill have been “leading?” Guess you aren’t a real conservative after all.

It was a crap bill. But Trump got behind it and went with Ryan as his Congressional lead. So you ended up with two choices: The crap bill or a neutered, politically weakened President Trump. You didn’t get the crap bill, but you did get a much weaker President Trump (partly his own damned fault of course, for hanging his hat on Ryan). But we live with what we get. The weakened Trump makes 2018 and 2020 look like a blood bath...and single payer the ONLY option left that can pass to replace Obamacare. Free market won’t make it, the Governing Establishment will NEVER return to the free market. American voters would go bat shit crazy if they ever tried to go to free market again.
