The Freedom Caucus has done a lot more than merely expose this party, the speaker, and the president as frauds on the health care issue. They have demonstrated that the entire modus operandi of the Republican Party is a sham. Republicans run on campaign slogans to distinguish themselves from Democrats during elections but never have any intention of actually rolling back the leviathan. Despite an inarticulate president and a phony party, Daniel explains why conservatives must not give up on Obamacare repeal and what we can do to fuel momentum for free market health care.
Daniel also explains why “tax reform” is a boondoggle. It is the wrong issue to focus on, and no good will come of it, given certain political realities with establishment Republicans. Trump would be wise to work with conservatives on the budget, immigration, and judicial reform rather than chase unicorn tax policies with Democrats.
