Ted Poe: The Freedom Caucus Was Never Going to Be a Yes; They Were Always Going to Be a No

‘I don’t want to turn my voting card over to a group that was obstinate on getting things done’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

POE: "No. I’m part of the Republican Party. I’m a conservative. I’ll remain that way. I’m an independent conservative. I don’t want to turn my voting card over to a group that was obstinate on getting things done. I’m an conservative as everybody. The president met with us 1 1/2 hours and with the vice president and with members of the cabinet and wanted to know what it would take to move this bill forward. They would mention something. The president said okay, we can do that. They mentioned four or five things. The president said we can do that. But got to the point that they would never be a yes. They were always going to be a no.
