“Former President Barack Obama hailed the political resilience of his signature health care law at a private event Thursday, pointing out that Obamacare is now more popular than his successor trying to repeal it: President Donald Trump. As Republicans in Washington sputtered again this week in their efforts to undo the law, Obama noted to an audience in midtown Manhattan that “the Affordable Care Act has never been more popular — and it’s more popular than the current president.”
Barack’s comment make no sense to me. Confidence in Trump and the belief that the Congress will do anything to solve the daily rising cost of health care, plus the notion that Barack has any kind of positive legacy are all in decline.
Mitch McConnell told Republican Congressmen on Day One that their Number One objective was to prevent Obama from having a positive legacy at all costs. Republican state governments refused Medicaid expansion for that reason even though it was a financially irrational act on their part.
The real embarrassment for Republicans is that the GOP is hopelessly divided on how to dismantle the hated Obamacare and has caused Obamacare to survive indefinitely.
It’s like Germany not figuring out to undo Nazism or Russia how to dissolve the Soviet Union – this is gross incompetence by the Republican National Committee.
Democrats should be laughing and the GOP grassroots outraged.
