Washington (CNN)Long before Donald Trump ever became a credible presidential candidate, let alone the commander in chief, the former reality TV star was guided by one animating principle: "If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard."
Trump's desire for revenge played out in public on Thursday when, in an effort to spook conservative members of his own party, the President lumped the Freedom Caucus -- a collection of conservative Republican lawmakers -- with Democrats and pledged to "fight them" in 2018.
Trump and his White House feel betrayed by the conservative Republicans. Many backed Trump early in the 2016 campaign and stood by him during some of the toughest trials of the campaign. But when it came to passing his first legislative goal -- health care reform -- the conservatives revolted en masse and killed the bill.

Imagine the ignorance of having your own healthcare being taken care of by your own self, your own doctor and hospital, and that relationship being insured the way you want it to be by an insurance policy of your choice that fits you and your own family without a government full of politicians being involved at all.
Horrible!
I'm no expert but Ryan's bill sounded like another abortion,the freedom caucus did the right thing.Get rid of Ryan and his lousey bill and get someone smart enough to come up with something that will work. If Republicans can't come up with something that will work, after all they have only had 6 years,then bite the damn bullet and modify Obama care and move on to other pressing problems. This whole health care issue is taking way too much time and effort.
