Trump's decision to take on the Freedom Fryers has turned the place into one big ball of confusion.
First, he didn't say that, did he?
Doesn't he know who his supporters are?:
He needs to clarify and narrow his criticism and quickly.
Ill be tuning into Hannity to hopefully clear this mess up.
Jarvanka made him do it:
You idiots should have known all along:
People are mad!:
Ah, fuck it:

He may have been dumb enough to believe that the GOP wanted to own kicking millions off their health insurance, and maybe a lot of Freepers are too, but they have to understand that Trump in charge of anything means a lot of fall guys. You want policy, don't look to the guy busy covering up seven decades of his own failures.

(39,351 posts)Heres the problem right here. The prexisting coverage is literally the most popular component of kenyancare. Its not going anywhere. Period. You need to stop day dreaming and support POTUSs effort to get a compromise bill and govern. The alternative is conservatives get NOTHING. Understand?
Kenyancare...even when they make sense they can't help but be appalling.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)They call it N****rcare.
No WAY they don't.
Kenyancare is just them hinting at it ... cause they're on a message board and don't want to come out the proverbial closet when they've expended so much effort ... denying being racists.
Rural_Progressive
(1,105 posts)Are they saying they want the insurance companies to be able to refuse to insure people because of "preexisting" conditions?
And that no true "conservative" could support a health insurance (because this isn't about health care at all) bill unless it allows insurance companies the ability to refuse to insure people because of "preexisting" conditions?
Am I reading this correctly?
BeyondGeography
(39,351 posts)And the removal of that provision was in fact a Freedom Caucus precondition for voting yes on the bill. The Administration, as well as Ryan for that matter, refused to take that out. The second commenter said that's political reality now, coverage for people with pre-existing conditions is popular and here to stay.

Conservative litmus tests:
1. Does this law create more freedom or less freedom?
2. Does this law force one person to pay for another person (i.e., less freedom for the responsible payer)?
0vomitcare fails both tests and so does Ryancare."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028872497
Yeah I know we aren't supposed to post RW stuff but I saw the thread about Freeperville going nuts and thought I'd throw this out.
Yes I listen in to Rush, mainly because he amuses me and to find out what nonsense is coming next.
First - Evelyn Farkas. Her name is all over the RW media. Supposedly, to their hearing, she admitted that Obama was surveilling Trump to Mika on Morning Joe. Unfortunately Ms. Farkas resigned her position in 2015 AND she only said that she advised former colleagues to save any info they had on Trump because he clearly would have it destroyed.
Okay. The near melt downs. They both really have to do with the Freedom Caucus and Trump's Tweet. Rush basically said that the entire anti-Obamacare show was a farce. It was all just stringing you (his listeners) along for 7 years. He even read an editorial from the Washington Examiner saying the same. He gave up and tried to switch gears but that didn't go well either.
Later he try to explain what Trump really meant by his tweet. Trump is not an ideologue. He repeated this many times. Trump only cares about winning. He then went back and forth on whether the failure of repeal and replace was the fault of the Freedom Caucus ....or not...no it was the Dems....no it was the Freedom Caucus.
Commercial break. I don't know what kind of feedback he got but he came back on air --- But but but let me clarify. Trump supports Ryan AND the Freedom Caucus HE DOES! Trump is just giving the Freedom Caucus one more chance. He likes Ryan!!! Then he tried some strange story about his golfing buddies who are proudly Republican but don't like being called conservatives or hearing conservative talking points. He got himself really turned around in this story and bailed on it to attack the media. THE MEDIA's doing all this. Trump like Ryan and the Freedom Caucus!!!
