The feud that always seemed inevitable but never occurred may finally be upon us. The House Freedom Caucus denied Trump his first major victory last week — and now the president is calling for their seats.
The fact that the House Freedom Caucus ever supported Trump seems odd on paper. While Trump was the “outsider” candidate for which the Freedom Caucus longed, his politics are generally further left than the ultra-conservative voting bloc. The fact that he was a Hollywood celebrity from New York City certainly shouldn’t have helped.
But, for a while, the two got along swimmingly — until they were finally asked to govern. Suddenly, Trump was president, not outsider, and his moderate tendencies forced Caucus members to choose between party and principles.
When it came to health care, the House Freedom Caucus chose principles. Now, Trump wants the public to choose new representatives.

Dumbest president ever. Get the$#%&!@*out of here. That whole cabinet sucks. If you’re not a millionaire your not important to them.
Might want to rethink that. The conservative voting bloc is huge. It could be a bunch of rhinos getting replaced.
The freedom caucus will save us From Obama care Trump needs to rethink this. He’s falling in atrap with Ryan
Very smart man and glad he’s America’s president!!
In order to make a trade country a capitalist country and not a welfare, foodstamps country, you most have the right people, deport them all, end the 14 th a. Do something, love your land,defend it god dam it! Check at the airports if visitors are pregnant. But do fucking something, America is the only place to live peacefully with armony, and urbanity, politeness etc
He’s attacking the wrong republicans. They won’t be voted out.
Yea but the def of conservatives has changed. The ones in this caucus is old school as hell majority anyway
True. But still would vote for something that wasn’t obamacare lite
If Trump wanted a “win” here it was very simple. End the illegal expansion of Obamacare shut down healthcare dot gov and light a fire under Democrats to fix the thing they depend ion/.
NEW YORK CITY BULLY BOY PLAYING WITH FIRE: IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A BULLY ALWAYS PICK YOUR VICTIM’S WISELY OTHERWISE YOU COULD BE THE VICTIM.
