2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe TeaPublicans are already overplaying their ObamaCare hand, and, in time, it will backfire.
So now the TeaPukes and their corporate SHIT media are going so far as to say that the Iran deal, in the works for months, was rolled out to distract from the bad ObamaCare rollout. Just silly.
They are going so far as to say the ObamaCare rollout is even WORSE than the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina. Even sillier.
10,000 people a day are signing up for ObamaCare in CA alone. MILLIONS will be enrolled in the coming months, more and more positive reports will be coming out from people whom it is helping, and more and more will come out about how the R governors not allowing Medicaid Expansion and state exchanges are stopping their states from having success as they are in CA, KY, CT, MN, WA, and elsewhere.
This will be their new Benghazi, and it will get overplayed, stale, and people will be sick of hearing about it. In fact, it will begin to feed the narrative that the R's are just the DO NOTHING PARTY OF THE RICH that just want things to fail and not work and that they have NO IDEAS AND NO ALTERNATIVES THAT GET EVERYONE COVERED WITH INSURANCE. I think in the end, as the website improves and more and more people who never had health insurance get enrolled, the tide will turn in a big way. Patience folks. Patience.

(15,071 posts)Yes, the MSM has become irrelevant and with the exception of Fox 'news' where only the most ignorant watch and believe, it seems no one listens to the mainstream media anymore (except for their entertainment news).

(14,449 posts)The Republicans are making Kay Hagan and Mary Landiau's life extremely difficult and they may lose their seats. It is ugly politically for some Democrats. I just hope that Democrats take 2014 serious. We must keep the Senate which will not be a walk in the park and take the House back which is difficult because of the 30 Republican Governors who were able to redistrict to their liking. I know there are only 29 Republican Governors now because of Virginia. Which won't help until 2020. I pray for huge miracles in 2014!

(13,570 posts)I think you are worrying too early. But Dems and Progressives need to STAND UP AND FIGHT with a CLEAR MESSAGE, and that CLEAR MESSAGE is that THE REPUKES HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE THAT GETS EVERYONE COVERED. FUCKING ZERO !!!
Don't waste energy worrying and "hoping for miracles." Get your rear in gear and campaign, donate, write letters to the editor, and bring your friends with you.
