I'm sorry. The Democratic Party cannot help you.

If you are one of the millions that will lose your health insurance, our deepest sympathies to you and your family. The Republicans have the votes to repeal the ACA and to take the proceeds from the repeal and give them to the Trump family and the top 1% in the form of a huge taxcut. It's not your fault. I am sure you voted for yourself and your own family against this bunch of lying crooks.

It's sad that the Democratic Party has gotten itself into such a condition that they cannot help you. They cannot defend your interests. Your country is now run by Donald Trump and Goldman Sachs. The Democratic Party, once the Party of the people, is now a minority Party across this nation.

But, look at the bright side. At least, we are getting change.

She could have gotten nothing done against this bunch of Republicans. They would have blocked her at every turn and she would now be under the threat of impeachment.

she absolutely would have protected us from these vultures. In fact, I think we grew complacent because Obama did such an amazing job.

He protected us from Putin and terrorists and from the worst terrorists, the GOP.

She would not be dismantling the EPA and the Department of Education.

She would have vetoed any attempt to legislate away the ACA, and that would make it harder.

And there would be no evidence to impeach her.

the media hype, it appears that it is DOA in the Senate.

They House republicans voted over 50 times to repeal the ACA, and it wouldn't get past the Senate

I don't think either party wants to get rid of the Senate filibuster for legislation

This is just a media show playing for the cameras
