The Freedom Caucus and the Rules Committee - That's a Carem Shot

The rules committee is typically nine members of the majority and four members of the minority. If those three freedom caucus members side with the four Democrats, that's seven six against the more governing wing on the Republican side. The leadership will have to be very smart when it comes to deciding which freedom caucus members to put on these various committees. I can see a Kabuki theater that we're going to see over and over again, where he peels off a couple for the big vote.
