GOP Rep Quits Freedom Caucus over Trumpcare Vote

[herding cats]

Republican Rep. Ted Poe has quit the hardline House Freedom Caucus over the group’s opposition to an Obamacare replacement plan heralded by President Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Poe was reportedly inclined to vote in favor of the American Health Care Act, before Ryan and Trump pulled it from the floor when they realized they did not have enough votes. “Leaving this caucus will allow me to be a more effective Member of Congress and advocate for the people of Texas. It is time to lead,” Poe said in a statement. Trump lashed out at the Freedom Caucus on Twitter Sunday morning, accusing them of having “saved” Planned Parenthood and Obamacare.

1. Let them all whine.

They should go live in their own compound, if they can't handle being decent human beings. Sadistic snivellers.

2. hahahaha

Being part of the caucus didn't prevent him from voting yes on trumpcare. He is free to vote on legislation however he pleases.

My guess is he is trying to avoid trump's "revenge"

3. Dumpf & rwnjs busy blaming Ryan when FC's deplorable

additions (or, more correctly, subtractions of coverage) made the bill not only a break with anything the blowhard promised on the campaign trail into the exact opposite of anything he promised.

Meanwhile, all that hard work Ryan claimed SCROTUS did was comprised of threatening congressmen & holding rallies about himself to sate his narcissistic needs.
