The thing is that they were able to control the house from the backseat for 8 years and it might be a shock for them that their votes aren't worth jackshit anymore. If the Progressive Caucus starts making problems for Pelosi then she might reach across the isle into the Tuesday Group but she sure as shit will never court the Freedom Caucus.
