It’s hard to fathom how Trump puts up with all these self-important pigs.

Puts up with? He's not a king.

Trump has his share of bad ideas and the Freedom Caucus should feel free to push back on them as needed.

Who is this Mr Trump of who they speak ?

. I thought they were referring to President Trump

Their abuse of titles here is almost as offensive and disrespectful as claiming the title of "Freedom" Caucus...LOL

The garbage bill called Obamacare repeal was not good at all. The FC was correct. This was a muddled half measure concocted by Paul Ryan and the insurance companies to keep most of it in place.

the article has a little more explanation—They did not like the deal—I am thinking because it did not go far enough, not fact that they wanted to keep Obamacare...

Biggs later says they defend Trump, and I think they do majority of the time.


It’s simple really. Did the GOP controlled Congress repeal Obamacare? No. The “Freedom Caucus” is just more K Street lobbyist funded controlled “opposition” to the GOPe. It’s all beltway theater. Don’t be duped by these guys running their mouths on TV.

“Hard liners” opposed to repealing Obamacare? It’s a joke, right?

Mostly they back Trump.


Mostly, they hate Trump. It must eat these career politicians up inside having to pretend they back Trump.

Well President Trump is right the majority of the time, however, sometimes he makes suggestions that just are not the right suggestion at all. But he usually does pull back from his own suggestions when he has time to reflect and see where he was perhaps speaking too hastily. Freedom caucus has and continues to be a very staunch supporter of President trump.

This time though I think Biggs wish he had stated it somewhat differently. Communication is not an easy task, especially when you say something before you have had a chance to absorb how it might come across. I for one will let him slide on this statement, as it was not well thought out before uttering. I fully support the Freedom Caucus just as I do President Trump. Why? Because in the end they too are fighting for this country, just as the President is doing. That fact has shown true many, many times.

There was some talk against them when they backed Paul Ryan for speaker after he gave his “if I accept, you must never try to remove me” ultimatum that should have been the easiest “okay, you’re out of contention” ever.


Did we hear a word from the “Freedom Caucus” as Paul Ryan coasted to retirement while throwing the House to Pelosi? Nope. Not a word.

How about we start with “We are going to repeal Obamacare root and branch.” Ooops, that didn’t come from Trump, did it?

Their cut off your nose to spite your face circular firing squad Colonel Klink antics have convinced me they are not conservative. They are dumb zealots. If you can take an inch, take it. Then take another and another and another. It is why the Libs have been beating us so badly. They take that inch over and over and over again. Then our side goes “How did that happen?” when the Libs have taken a mile an inch at a time.

No, Trump came up with that Obamacare lite repeal and replace abomination that failed to gain any traction. The Freedom Caucus rightly put it's foot down on it.
