Those would be the same changes that have pushed moderates out of the yes column (on the first expected vote), into the growing chorus (majority) of nos.

Meet the new failure, same as the old failure.

We’ll back the bill as long as there’s no healthcare for anyone.

Freedom Caucus? They should be the Horsemen of the Apocalypse Caucus.

What’s the matter, Free Caucs, can’t you write your own beautiful plan that will have America clamoring for the freedom it offers?

These guys are the loud table at the sports bar, telling the pros on the screen how to do things right.

Freedom Caucus:
We want to insure that the maximum amount of people suffer and that the changes drive people into bankruptcy and kill as many as quickly as possible.

In other words, if the new bill really and truly f’s over the the poor, the sick and the middle class we will vote for it.

O/T but whatever happened to Kellyskank Spinway?

She was Trump’s mouthpiece before on the ACA repeal effort. I have not seen nor heard from her in some time now. I do know she has been speaking at right wing closed events.

Gee, yah think she’s been grounded? And I’m not saying I look forward to her talking to major news outlets either. Rather, it’s much more fun to mock her!

If they don’t win this time, we ought to start calling them the French Caucus, because they lose all their wars without a fight(at least that’s what I read on Breitbart).

Hey, I just got back from France and everyone including the Parisians were really nice people. The Freedumb caucus are not nice people.

Pass the Freedom Fries!
Ok, not giving up the Chair, but stepping aside from the Russia investigation, because of “leftwing activists”

DARKNESS AT NUNES!

Yeah, all this tells me is that these guys are in safe districts and can afford to play games, while not giving a damn about their Republican colleagues in more contested districts.

They are much better at fantasy legislation according to Joe Barton of Texas.
Personally, I think they can pass legislation only if it deals with women’s reproductive rights, the EPA, taxes, gays and religion. Also, they have obstructing legislation down to a fine art.
I actually like this quote better than Barton’s “fantasy football” comparison:

Republican Representative Dana Rohrabacher said before the bill was pulled that voting it down would be “neutering Trump” while empowering his opponents.
“You don’t cut the balls off a bull and then expect that he can go out and get the job done,” Rohrabacher told Reuters. “This will emasculate Trump and we can’t do that. … If we bring this down now, Trump will have lost all of his leverage to pass whatever bill it is, whether it’s the tax bill or whatever reforms that he wants.”

She tweeted the other day promoting watching 60 minutes to hype the blogger of Pizzagate fame. Seemed pretty nonsequitorish for the WH.
