Are you pulling for the Freedom Caucus in their battle with Trump?

[kentuck]

They are remnants of the old Tea Party and are batshit crazy but they are good for one thing.

So long as they oppose Trump, no legislation can get thru Congress. That is good. All those EO's he has been signing can be done away with by the next President. If we can stop legislation, that will be a victory.

Politics indeed makes strange bedfellows.

1. I'm just observing their battle because no matter which side wins, America loses.

2. Given Justin Amash's district is gerrymandered blood red, I'd rather see a never-Dumper in it.

With the attacks by Dump, he will win his election in 2018. Amash is gonna pump it for all it's worth.

Amash in his town hall found the "magic potion" to quell the attendees. He started trashing Dump big time, btw.

3. Enemy of my enemy ?????? n/t

4. Nope. While Trump might be an asshole the FC is a high colonic that loves living deep inside an ass.

5. Anything or anyone that splits the Republican party...

is OK by me.

6. The Freedom Caucus's intransigence

might help us to get past the midterm elections with less damage.

7. For now. As long as they stop

trumpy's policies from going forward.

8. It's like

Jason Voorhees vs Freddy Krueger

9. I'm pulling for the rats to eat their own.

[malaise]

10. I'm pulling for them to tear apart the ReTHUG party

[GoCubsGo]

17. Yep. Mutual destruction, please.

[FreepFryer]

11. No, I'm hoping it's a "War of the Roses" scenario and they die in each others' arms.

Embedded in a mutually murderous embrace.

Metaphorically speaking.

[OliverQ]

12. I despise the Freedom Caucus

They're some of the craziest politicians around, but...


If they're integral in helping to destroy the GOP and Trump's administration, by all means hopefully they continue.

[briv1016]

13. I'm pulling for a mutually assured destruction scenario.

[tandem5]

14. my thoughts exactly

[FreepFryer]

16. Actually MAD is a preventative arrangement intended to ensure their survival....

Sorry to get history geeky.

[tandem5]

18. *Dons pocket protector and inhales deeply in a snort* Deterrence is the goal, but

only if the destructive follow-through is real and unavoidable. Trump has already fired the opening salvo against the Freedom Caucus, targeting individual members to be voted out of office. MAD still applies, specifically the follow-through part where everybody dies. So oh SNAPCOUNT the SKYisFALLing! Geek to the power of nerd!

[lsewpershad]

15. No

Just a sick bunch.
