Congress will be equally culpable in Obamacare's demise by no longer funding it. redumbliCONs are heartless insanely evil bastards.

But there is a rub.

From a purely political standpoint.
Just look at the TV, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, who voted heavily for Obama, and then heavily for the reality TV star, are having a come to Jesus moment, I call it "oh shit, what have I done"

that's scary, JD Vance, author of "hillbilly elegy" who was telling everybody watch out, my people are buying what Trump is selling. Just got on CNN right while I'm writing this and explained the hillbillies are starting to realize they have been duped. The Republicans are not careful they will go back on mass to the Democrats. The next chance they get. (I'm paraphrasing)

problem is, they will get financially destroyed by the time the next election rolls by and a Democrat will be able to restore a wounded Obama care.

After the election, I knew this and I said, they deserve it, like no one else before, good for them.

But now, months later, my compassion is making me scared, real scared. No election is worth this.
