Trump Threatens the FreeDumb Caucus
President Trump effectively declared war Thursday on the House Freedom Caucus, the powerful group of hard-line conservative Republicans who blocked the health-care bill, vowing to “fight them” in the 2018 midterm elections.
In a morning tweet, Trump warned that the Freedom Caucus would “hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team, & fast." He grouped its members, all of them Republican, with Democrats in calling for their political defeat -- an extraordinary incitement of intraparty combat from a sitting president.
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!

This should be fun to watch. The self-declared dealmaker with no governing philosophy other than "winning" versus a bunch of clowns who are unable to say "yes" to anything. It'll be interesting to see which side talk radio and conservative "alternative news" websites side with.
