The more radical wing of the GOP as we know want to get rid of the ACA and everything else. They just do not believe government should do anything for the people. As we know they will continue their efforts to destroy the progress of the last 100 years.
So we will have to continue to be vigilant and active. Like a crocodile they lie in wait until they can strike without warning.

If we don't at least take back the house, then because the voters, whether they come out to vote or not, will have just destroyed it

(13,552 posts)The defeat of the draconian things in the bill are the real victory.
They will continue to try to completely repeal the ACA. Plus, the tax plan coming up is going to be derailed because of the anticipation that the Chumpcare bill would transfer almost a Trillion (T!) to the wealthy.
This is a victory...not the best, but still not as bad as it could have gone.
