They're idiots, but this isn't their fault.

Unless you want to talk about the fact that Freedom Caucus members (and many others) were almost certainly the reason we got this shite proposal in the first place.

They are really the socialism cuckus IMO. Those try-hard nerds didn't negotiate in good faith and killed the bill. Probably locked in socialized medicine.

Trumpcare was Obamacare 2.0.

How does yoking yourself to a death spiral help you?

What they did was piss some people off and put TAX reform at risk.

Put the ball in the Freedom Caucus' court. Tell them to put something out there for consideration. They don't have one. They talk a good show.

And worst of all most of them are too stupid to realize what is happening.

I don't understand how th Freedom Caucus has the nerve to espouse ideas like they do. They're supposed to know that in order to govern in D.C., you have to pass shitty legislation and pretend it's awesome. The faster they can adopt this stance, the better off they'll be.

You don't know anything. I love how you're suddenly a policy expert on healthcare.

They are controlled opposition

I opposed this bill, but at the same time I hate the Freedom Caucus. Funded, controlled opposition. Where were these principled stands when we needed them the past few years.

Yeah the GOP should have taken on a death spiral and 100% owned the inevitable failure. That somehow makes sense to the Trump cucks.

They were told that nothing could be done until the GOP owned everything.

I know enough to know the true principled conservatives just gave us (best case scenario) two more years of Obamacare. What do you know?

The Freedom Caucus has been pissing off the Establishment Rs for years now. This isn't new. Read a book.

I know what the AHCA was doomed to the same death spiral as Obamacare.

You still haven't disproven that btw.

They are frauds.

They didn't oppose this because of their principles.

They opposed it because their donors told them to.

Their donors say jump and they ask how high.

I know that two years of Obamacare is roughly the same as two years of Trumpcare. Why pass bad legislation to pass something?
