Title: Jim Jordan Crushes Reince Priebus False Narrative on Obamacare Repeal

One of the false narratives peddled by establishment RINO squishes like Reince Priebus in order to get principled conservatives to act like liberal Democrats is to spew the phony premise, “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

Priebus said as much to FOX News’ Chris Wallace Sunday when he said, “We can’t be chasing the perfect all the time.”

It was intended to be a slam against the House Freedom Caucus, which insisted that Republicans keep their promise of fully repealing Obamacare, something the failed American Health Care Act (AHCA) did not do and kept in place the entire Obamacare apparatus and many of the regulations that caused health insurance premiums and deductibles to unnecessarily skyrocket.

But as House Freedom Caucus founding member Jim Jordan told MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday, House GOP leadership didn’t come anywhere close to perfection when they crafted Paul Ryan’s health care bill behind closed doors, the bill dubbed Obamacare 2.0, Obamacare Lite, RINOCARE, or Swampcare. Far from seeking perfection, the bill “wasn’t even good.”

“The lesson here is, don’t try to pass a bill that only 17 percent of the country approves of,” Jordan declared. “That’s a problem.”
“Mr. Priebus was talking about don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Well, this wasn’t even good.”

“When no one likes the legislation, you have to do it different,” Jordan said. “It wasn’t going to bring down premiums — it had a host of problems. And frankly, the key promise we made to the American people in the 2010, 2014, and 2016 election[s] was we would repeal Obamacare, this legislation didn’t do that. And that was the fundamental flaw in this entire process. So let’s get back to work and let’s do what we said we would do.”

Jordan went on to say that the House Freedom Caucus was completely united on the 2015 clean Obamacare repeal bill that was passed in both the House and Senate and was sent to Obama’s desk.

But instead of starting with the “perfect,” Paul Ryan and his team of RINOs stupidly crafted a turd sandwich behind closed doors first and somehow thought it would pass muster with principled conservatives who were excluded from the writing of the legislation.

President Trump, as the author of “Art of the Deal” should know, this is exactly the opposite way a negotiation should have been constructed.

Notice Jordan saying here that the House Freedom Caucus was united on starting with the 2015 bill passed in both chambers and then following up with another 'replace' bill.

But Ryan refused to offer the House the same bill written by Tom Price. Because it was the RINOs who wouldn't vote for it again. The Freedom Caucus was ready before and is still ready to vote for the 2015 Price bill.

"The Freedom Caucus was ready before and is still ready to vote for the 2015 Price bill."

Again. What's the difference between the 2015 Price bill and what Trump proposed? Nothing. So I don't believe you or the Freedom Caucus.

As Ted Poe said, they'd vote against the Ten Commandments.

Ted Poe would know, he was on the "inner circle" until he got wise and told them to go to Hell ...

Republicans are real good at obstructing. The best, actually. And that comes from years and years of practice while in the minority.

Now that we control everything -- which they demanded -- they can't stop. If they're not obstructing Democrats, why, they'll switch to obstructing Republicans. They don't know how to govern, and they're demonstrating why they shouldn't be given the power to govern.

Nobody in the GOP leadership sat down with the Freedom Caucus before Trump introduced the bill and had a come-to-Jesus meeting with them? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
