I don't know why everyone is blaming the Freedom Caucus, most of whom were willing to cave.

Conservative anger SHOULD be directed at the moderates who wanted to keep the Medicaid expansion and the like.

"The Freedom Caucus" wasn't going to cave. I agree halfway with you though that both "The Freedom Caucus" and "The Tuesday Group" killed the bill though.

Moderates do want to keep the Medicaid Expansion because Hillary Clinton either won or came close to winning those Congressional Districts or Seats that Moderate Republicans sit in.

I don't think people realize how bad Trump's negotiation skills were here.

-Doesn't know anything about healthcare policy, so he can't come up with proposals on his own.

-Publically says he will go after Mark Meadows if he votes no. This makes a situation where Meadows will be humiliated if he switches his vote to yes.

Just all over the place bad.

His negotiation skills are not to blame its the bill that was bad.

We need to get rid of Bannon, not Priebus.  Only movement conservatives should advise Trump.

-You have learned nothing. Priebus and Ryan should go out the window. Bannon should take over as VP.

Bannon is not gonna be VP.

Fantastic news.  Great to see this monstrous administration humiliated.  More importantly, millions of people will keep their health coverage for now.

The administration would have been humiliated had the bill actually went through and passed. They saved themselves from embarrassment.

Blame should lay with Paul Ryan trying to sell a literal turd as a healthcare bill.

The bill was even unpopular or had lukewarm popularity in GOP Congressional Districts. Nate Silver had some data on his website of the popularity of the GOP Healthcare Bill by Congressional District on his website.
