Our side needs both purists and pragmatists, don’t take the bait and allow demands for conformity to divide us.

[blueplum]

the New Freedom Caucus needs to buy a clue. Trump 2020 and that’s the end of the discussion. Period.

[Ann Archy]

What a STUPID thi g to say.

[ConservativeMind]

“its members are not afraid to buck Mr. Trump as they did in opposing his attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017.”

These are “conservatives?” I remember they fought Trump over this, though.

[ronnie raygun]

as they did in opposing his attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017.

The ACA replacement bill wasn’t a repeal at all. In fact, it was a political mess that wasn’t going to do a damn thing to fix the underlying flaws of the ACA.

That’s why the GOP got its ass kicked in the 2018 midterms. A lot of voters simply recognized that the Republicans in Congress had been nothing more than grandstanding dopes who never had any intention of overturning ObamaCare all along.

You are 100% correct imo

[LibertyWoman]

Looks like your guess is correct. see post 66

Please dont kill the orezs gun control package.. it’s for the children.

[Old Man From WV]

It looks like the Freedom Caucus ain’t what it once was since they elected this new head. Biggs is a phony.

[neverevergiveup]

“Criminals but with better impulse control.”

Yes, most definitely.

Well, I just heard him speak in AZ and he didn’t utter one single non-Trump syllable.

I think some of these people, whether they’ve read my article or not, are beginning to see that the House has become irrelevant.

He has an agenda. Why even come out and state this crap? What did it accomplish? Why did he feel compelled to comment? Because he has an agenda.

>>Puts up with? He’s not a king.
*******************************
I didn’t say or imply that he was king. I said I don’t know how he puts up with them. He is always there, day after day, ready to keep meet, work, negotiate, etc. with them. It is this quality of persistence to which I was referring. He gets it from all sides.

I have found that what initially seems like some “bad” ideas, often turns out to be part of his longer strategy. Not always, but sometimes.

I find the very fact that Biggs made the statement to be unhelpful, and I am entitled to MY opinion.

[Right-wing Librarian]

I know. That’s what is sad about the FC chair’s comment.

[Svartalfiar]

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?

But the result was that Obamacare was not repealed and it was their fault.

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

Of course not Because the “Freedom Caucus” is a gang of narcissistic jerkoffs who don’t give one sweet sh&t about the future of the country.

Why don't you guys go back and look at YOUR posts from that time frame. I bet y'all didn't support the Ryan bill either. The bill they blocked only repealed a few small parts of Obamacare, keeping most of it and was a terrible option.

You idiots are thinking of the actual repeal bill, that the Freedom Caucus supported, which was stopped by the Dems and McCain, the traitor.

[Right-wing Librarian]

I don’t care what names you call me, Svartalfiar. I care about Freedom Caucus members (and all other Congressional patriots, if there are any) getting 100% behind our President. Our nation and President need all the help it and he can get.

The Freedom Caucus also supported Paul Ryan. How did that work out for us? You need to accept the fact that the “Freedom Caucus” is controlled opposition to the progressive corportist GOPe and nothing more.

And why should they do that? Blindly following him is just as dumb as some of the Dems nowadays. Trump isn't perfect, and some of his positions need to be tempered / reversed. Or do you think a bump stock actually is a 'machine gun'?
