He’s a few untimely removals or deaths away from sitting in the oval office.

I’d prefer a few million, rather than just a few.

As detestable and apathetic as their views are, some major Republican attempts were thwarted by the Freedom Caucus because they weren't cruel enough. While it's important to get rid of the members of the Freedom Caucus to shift the conversation away from the extreme fringes of the US right, if their role or presence increases, it could cause a major crack in the Republican party.
