Title: Louie Gohmert: Trump Listening to ‘Establishment to the Core’ Reince Priebus

Conservative congressman and House Freedom Caucus member Louie Gohmert said on Sunday that the reason a deal wasn’t made on repealing Obamacare and the reason President Trump has launched a war against conservatives and Tea Party representatives in Congress is because he’s listening to RINOs Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus, who he described as “establishment to the core.”

Gohmert said that if the GOP establishment got their way in passing the American Health Care Act (AHCA), a faux Obamacare repeal bill that doesn’t fully repeal Obamacare but instead only amends it around the edges, keeping its infrastructure in place and many of the free-market crushing regulations, mandates and subsidies that have caused both health insurance premiums and deductibles to unnecessarily skyrocket, it would be a double win for the establishment.

Gohmert said the GOP establishment’s “twofer” would be to “destroy conservatives — the grassroots who stood by the president” and to “make the president look terrible” because the next four years the Trump administration would be defined as a “fraud” as the bill promised to repeal Obamacare but instead gives even more power to the federal government than the original Obamacare bill.

“We were demanding ‘we’ve got to do some things to bring down prices. People can’t stand this’,” Gohmert said on FOX News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

“Oh, and the president agreed with us twice,” Gohmert revealed. “And each time Priebus and Ryan say ‘No, No, No, you can’t do that.’ He [President Trump] wanted to make a deal and we were negotiating with Paul, with Kevin McCarthy right up through Tuesday, and all of a sudden they had a meeting and they decided ‘We’re so close to having the number we need, let’s go to war and get the president to help us go to war’ against the people who defended the president when Ryan and those guys said ‘abandon him.'”

On Thursday, President Trump launched his war against Tea Party conservatives and their only representatives in Congress by threatening to primary members of the House Freedom Caucus in the upcoming 2018 elections:
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!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 30, 2017

Also on Thursday, Karl Rove, a longtime enemy of the Tea Party movement, penned an opinion piece in the pro-cronyism Wall Street Journal, in which he put the Freedom Caucus in his crosshairs, writing that the “Freedom Caucusers” were guilty of “political libel against their Republican colleagues” for not voting for the RINOCARE bill that has an abysmal 17% approval among Americans.

Then on Saturday, after Rove urge the president to not directly attack the Freedom Caucus but instead have his underlings do the dirty work, Trump social media director, Dan Scavino, followed the directive, specifically calling for Congressman Justin Amash , who won his district by a whopping 22 points last year, to be defeated in 2018 primary:
.@realDonaldTrump is bringing auto plants & jobs back to Michigan. @justinamash is a big liability.#TrumpTrain, defeat him in primary.

— Dan Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) April 1, 2017


“He’s taking advice from Priebus who’s establishment to the core and if it keeps up, he is going to get hurt the way establishment people actually hurt Reagan. The only time Reagan succeeded was when he didn’t listen to the establishment folks like Priebus is today and actually followed his own instinct. 

But I’m telling you, the president’s administration will either succeed or fail over the next 30 days. He can work with the people that got him there — that defended him when others like Ryan and the establishment were running scared — or he can work with us to help him fulfill his promises. 

But this bill doesn’t satisfy any of the promises that we made. It’s gonna be bad. It’s really gonna be a disaster.” 

On Sunday, President Trump tweeted that there is “love” in the Republican Party. However, it’s unlikely that the Tea Party conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus — all Republicans — are feeling the love.
Anybody (especially Fake News media) who thinks that Repeal & Replace of ObamaCare is dead does not know the love and strength in R Party!

I liked how Gohmert constructed the timeline and gave the FC's side of the story. You can see the video at the source website or at FNC.

Trump put together a bill he thought could pass the House and Senate. Of course the bill could be more to the right. It could also be more to the left.

Giving in to the Freedom Caucus would have lost the moderate votes.

Does Louie Gohmert have a bill that would get 216 votes? No. He'd rather do nothing than give an inch. What does he care? He's not President.

Ah, but he is pretty good at hiding from his constituents who want to ask him direct questions about the bill.

And the reason he gives is …

Geeeze …

Ah, but Ghomert said they will “hold their noses” and support health care legislation if they can be assured premiums would come down….according to a report by Mark Swanson at News Max.

Did I just see a first blink …

Nah, it has to be some kind of a trick …

That's just a sample of some of the bills that Gohmert would have likely voted for.

You will note that all three bills were introduced ... and died. They went nowhere.

I think this is likely the key sticking point.

Freedom Caucus types (and Rand/Ted/Mike/Tom in the Senate) feel they are already compromising too much by agreeing to allow most of 0bamaCare to escape repeal.

But they will not vote for something that does nothing to bring costs down. To them, that is worse than doing nothing and waiting for 0care to collapse, either this fall or in fall 2018.

That's because Paul Ryan and GOP leadership love Obamacare and just want to brand it with an (R), so they killed those bills and went with Obamacare Lite, but the Freedom Caucus defeated it.

The Freedom Caucus supports Trump, but he's stabbing them in the back.

Per the sidebar in your photo, I was unaware that Jim Jordan was a college wrestling champ. I had noticed before that he relies on sports-related phrases like "I'm not afraid of competition" when Trump was threatening to primary the brave and wonderful Freedom Caucus members. So now that makes more sense.

By the time you have a bow that sophisticated, you might as well buy a rifle.

Traditional bow hunting required considerable stalking skills. Ryan's bow is a step below the no-effort-required shooting of a deer with a rifle and high-power scope.

I prefer hunting when it is a sport (where the animal has a chance and a hunter has to have woodland skills to make the kill).
