Trump Settles on a Culprit In Health Bill Fiasco:Freedom Caucus..Huff Post.

It took President Donald Trump a few days to decide who to blame for the collapse of the Republicans’ Obamacare replacement bill.

But by Thursday, it was clear he had settled on the House’s ultraconservative Freedom Caucus. What’s more: House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who once all but disowned Trump, has signaled that he approves of the president’s crusade.

Trump broadcast his decision on his favorite medium, tweeting what seemed like a threat of electoral retaliation against Freedom Caucus members.

“The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don’t get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!” he wrote.

I am glad all the blame goes in one place. Who was it that stopped negotiations and ordered a vote the next day?..Perhaps additional time would have brought a different outcome. Perhaps..but one thing is the same, none of this is Trump's fault. I am glad it went down, and I don't care whose fault...but Drumpf is indeed consistent..."someone else's fault"...He defines himself..his is not a leader, but a blaming asshole..

Some people take a whole lot of time to see things clearly.. But it will get to 28 percent if he stays in. Why? Almost everyone will get sick of the constant lies..No one likes a total and complete liar. But this asshole does not know how to tell the truth....so this will continue. .. 25 to 28 percent ..no matter what....Those are the people who would be Republican..no matter who was in there..Even if that person were Benedict Arnold. or Daffy Duck..!!
