Obvious to me the #nevertrump Republican RINOS put together a bill they knew wouldn't pass the House so as to embarrass or undermine the President. Paul Ryan was one of them and still is! Had it by some miracle passed the House, #nevertrumpers in the Senate led by John McCain, his buddy Lindsey Graham and others would have killed it. The bill was no where close to repealing ObamaCare, it was if anything, more onerous. As you said, Thank God for the Freedom Caucus!
And if anyone thinks the goal wasn't to undermine or embarrass Trump, take a look at how the other rail of this plot jumped in to report it as a Trump "failure" when all he wanted to do was ease the pain on the middle class who are now becoming in many cases the new "uninsured", giving up on trying to pay doubled premiums and higher deductibles. Did Trump fail? That's what you are being asked to believe? You're not supposed to know that ObamaCare was foisted on us by lies and a unanimous Democrat vote and not a single Democrat vote was to be had to make any change to it! Yet it is now a Trump/Republican failure?
I'm telling you, there is no such thing as a "vast ring wing conspiracy", or vast left wing conspiracy, or a media conspiracy, they've joined forces. And the telltale traces of that are Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and other Republicans campaigning in 2012 to "stop Obama" and within three weeks after the election they give him everything he wanted.
