Conservative commentator Dennis Prager recently wrote a column in which he blamed what he sees as two major failures within the Republican party (and the conservative movement) on purist conservatism. One of them, as you can probably guess, was the collapse of the American Health Care Act. The Republican-sponsored bill, which was supported by President Trump, Speaker Ryan, and a large majority of House Republicans, peeled away some key components of Obamacare. It wasn't, however, the sweeping repeal-plan that many on the Right were hoping for, and it was ultimately denied the required number of votes to move forward by members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of very conservative congressmen.
