Trump: ‘We must fight’ hard-line conservative Freedom Caucus in 2018 midterm election

[FakeNews]

President Trump threatened Thursday to try to knock off members of the House Freedom Caucus in next year’s elections if they don’t fall in line — an extraordinary move that laid bare a civil war within a Republican Party struggling to enact an ambitious agenda.

In a morning tweet, the president warned that the powerful group of hard-line conservatives who blocked the health-care bill last week would “hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don’t get on the team, & fast.”

The president vowed to “fight them” as well as Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections, a threat that his allies said was intended in the short term to make members of the Freedom Caucus think twice about crossing him again. But Trump’s vow was met with defiance by many in the group, including some who accused him of succumbing to the establishment in Washington that he had campaigned against.

Later in the day, Trump singled out three of the group’s members in another tweet, saying if they got on board, “we would have both great healthcare and massive tax cuts & reform.”

Interesting. Just as progressives are preparing to do the Tea Party gambit -- forming organizations to primary Dem candidates from the left, with a view to eventually wholly or partially taking over the party -- the original RW Tea Partiers are about to face a centrist/Establishment backlash.

Taken together, these chains of events might well shift America's political center-of-gravity well to the left of where it is now, and do so before 2020.

No, they will hop on anything that furthers their interest, they just talk about stopping Trump because it keeps/gets the troops rallied.

They are not above joining Trump to cripple the GOP, the enemy of my enemy and all.

If the DNC doesn't go for this golden opportunity to go for the GOP's jugular on this then you'll see just how much of a dog and pony show all that talk about progress is.

The war inside the DNC is also far from over....this could end up causing more conflict there than expected too.

Not centrist, corporatist (lefty) republican backstab....

The "centrist" you speak of are no more centrist than Clinton was progressive.

They are just corporate goons. Sell outs.

It's more than possible.

I hope it's sever enough of a swing we start butchering white people in the streets and call is "social justice" LOL.

*sigh* No, we'll save that just for you, Bot (case-specifically redefining "white" for the purpose); the rest of the white people get a pass (and must show it to police officers on demand).

So, you're saying that either the Freedom Caucus or Donald Trump are actually Democrats? Do you have any idea how ironic your post is?

 

[BotanyBoy]

LOL you do that all the time anyhow with pretty much any words you want so no need to point it out KO, we know.

; the rest of the white people get a pass (and must show it to police officers on demand).

Not according to the justice warriors, according to them it's time for white people to pay for the crimes of their race!!

You keep saying that over and over, at very opportunity, even when it's off-topic, and it remains bullshit no matter how often you repeat it.

Dude feminist to BLM leaders and marches have been seen on video promoting exactly that.

It's on film, there are shit tons of witnesses, it's been covered by thousands of cell phones, MSN and FOX.

You're in as much denial as CNN was calling arson, vandalism, looting and racial hate crimes against white people "Peaceful protesting".

You are totally disconnected from reality.

Just cut the title down to Trump saying we must fight freedom and that's what the real matter is.

Those fists of his look so threatening.

I voted for Trump to keep a serial felon out of office. I didn't vote for Trump so that he could split the party and bash conservatives trying to live up to the GOP promise to "repeal" Obamacare.

My biggest fear about Trump was the liberal NY environment he's been steeped in most of his adult life. Granted a Rockefeller Republican is better than a NY liberal Democrat but let's face it Ivanka is a liberal, her husband is a liberal, and worst of all Gary Cohn, Trump's Director of the National Economic Council, is a Hillary supporting liberal Democrat, which is precisely why we saw Trump support for the Ryancare bullshit. That alone gives me pause to believe the Agenda Trump ran on will ever become reality. There's simply too much establishment sympathy in his inner circle.

The destruction of 30,000 emails with bleach-bit and the destruction of multiple devices with hammers AFTER a judge's court order to preserve evidence is pretty damn egregious.

That, and lying under oath repeatedly in front of Congress is a big felony as well. Too bad there is nobody with balls in the Justice department.

Some of these mindlessly obedient Democrats are really pathetic in their denials. They don't bother with the law or the facts.

First off your assumptions aren't reality.

Second they don't do anything to change the fact that what I said is true.

Stealing classified US government documents is a felony we arrest people and put them in prison for repeatedly, every year.

Why do you think Clinton should get away with breaking the laws us peasants are held accountable to??

Not 20 posts in and it's a thread about Clinton.
