Some wonder if Trump's tweet reminding people to watch the Judge last night was about her opening chewing on Ryan, after what happen on Friday. Trump's agenda was sadly hurt by Ryan's and the Freedom Caucuses stunt and I hope he can recover.
Jim Jordan was on FOX this morning and I would have liked to be there to slap the smug smile off his face. He acted like the Freedom Caucus did nothing wrong by allowing Obamacare to stay law because he and his FC buddies did not get EVERYTHING THEY WANTED. He even said if the tax cuts are not what he told his voters they would be, he will be voting no on them too. It is as if it is his way or the highway. He gets everything he wants or he is voting NO. It did not sound like there was any BEND OR COMPROMISE in the Freedom Caucus's governing manual, just obstruct like they did against the Dems. Maybe that is why one member has quit the caucus today as he wanted to be part of the GOVERNING PARTY not just the caucus of NO. Sad the voters give them a Republicans President that is willing to help them and they are not willing to help themselves by compromising a little for the benefit of the voters that gave them the House , Senate And White House to REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE
I truly believe some days the Republicans are they own worst enemy, they never stand behind each other and take one for the TEAM. At the first sight of a threat to their own personal narrative that might cost them a vote they jump ship. When things work out they sneak back on the ship and claim they have been a supporter all along.
I can't stand Nancy Pelosi, the look of the woman makes me want to hurl, but you have to give it to her nobody dares step out of line on an important vote when there is a chance the Dems will look bad if the vote fails. People say the Republican walk in lock step and have a closed Old White men party. This single issue proves otherwise. The Dems got this horrid bill through in the dark of night without a single Republican vote and it has been collapsing for 7 years. Now that it is the Republicans looking to get rid of it before it totally implodes and destroying the US healthcare system with it, they have to deal with The Moderate Tuedays club Republicans , the middle of the road Republicans and the never give an inch Freedom Caucus Republicans. Trump pulls out all the stops to herd the cats in the same direction and they take him out along with themselves with their NON COMPROMISING STUPIDITY. The liberal media is having a hayday with the fact the bill failed and Pelosi is joyfully telling Trump he made a rookie mistake.
Trump needs to pull the Republicans into a big room and get them all on the same page by telling them if they jerk him around again with their un compromising crap he will make sure their voters that support him know who it is that is standing in the way of progress in reversing the last 8 years of Obama's TRANSFORMING OF THE UNITED STATES INTO A SOCIALIST NANNY STATE WITH AN OPEN DOOR POLICY WHEN IT COMES TO ILLEGALS AND TERRORIST REFUGEES. Then he needs to keep the Freedom Caucus behind and give them a lesson on NEGOTIATION does not mean you get everything you want.
