In many of my commentaries over the past few weeks about Trumpcare (a.k.a. Ryancare, RINOcare, Swampcare, and Obamacare 2.0), I usually mentioned the fact that, despite what so-called conservatives were saying, the American Health Care Act is 100% Donald Trump’s idea. I would also mention what we’ve known all along about Trump; he is a full-fledged liberal wolf in Republican sheep’s clothing, and there’s not a shred of conservatism in his entire body.
Evidence of Trump’s fraudulent GOP/Conservative ideals were obvious throughout his campaign, but recent events have made his phoniness crystal clear to anyone not drinking the orange Kool-Aid. During the recently failed—but soon to be revived—attempt to pass the fake repeal of Obamacare, the Portokalos President warned conservatives to support the bill or face being primaried in 2018. And while the White House denied that his threat was real, Trump confirmed it when he targeted them again via his Twitter account after the bill failed to pass.
Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. After so many bad years they were ready for a win!

It should come as no surprise to my readers and listeners that I took a bit of heat from the Trump cult for calling him out for his blatant attacks on conservatives, but following his behavior yesterday, the ADHD president has confirmed my accusations.
In the days leading up to a second attempt to pass the fake repeal of Obamacare—along with a fake budget proposal next month—Donald Trump has openly declared war on conservatives.
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!

If @RepMarkMeadows, @Jim_Jordan and @Raul_Labrador would get on board we would have both great healthcare and massive tax cuts & reform.

Unfortunately for conservatives, Paul Ryan—who sold out Conservatives on Obamacare repeal—has empathy for Trump, and he defended the Twitterer-in-Chief with a backhanded attack on the Freedom Caucus, calling them the “10 percent.”
“It’s very understandable that the president is frustrated that we haven’t gotten to where we need to go. I understand the frustration. I share the frustration.”
Ryan said that “90%” of Republicans supported the party’s healthcare bill and only about “10%” opposed it.
Mitch McConnell has a long track record of hating conservatives—he even hates conservative talk radio—and when teamed up with Ryan, these two “leaders” of the GOP will be reliable allies in Trump’s war against conservatives.
The heart of America is the Conservative; the heart of the Conservative is the Constitution; and the heart of the Constitution is America. Trump’s declaration of war against Conservatives is a declaration of war against the heart of America!
