House GOP's move to repeal ObamaCare will hurt them in midterms, says Dem pollster

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic pollster Molly Murphy said Monday that the House GOP's attempts last year to repeal ObamaCare will hurt them in November's midterm elections.

"Republicans took an affirmative action to make health care more costly for more people in their health-care repeal vote," Murphy, a partner at ALG Research, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

"They did not come in with a replace; they came in with a repeal. That created a lot of anxiety around health care," she said.

"A lot of the House Republicans, in particular, made votes to say, 'This is what I believe on health care,'" Murphy added. "So even though it did not ultimately succeed, it's when you're thinking about who you're going to vote for and how they voted."

[question everything]

1. Of course it will. Just notice how many Repugs are running on "pre-existing conditions

should not be used to deny coverage."

2. It would be really sad if their action resulted in their own demise

3. Affordable Care Act

If some of these writers lived in deep red states they would realize that there are a lot of people who think Obamacare is liberal evil and Affordable Care Act is something all real Americans deserve. They DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER.

4. Dems need strong, aggressive messaging and ads on that point. People forget, and Republicans are

scrubbing their anti-ACA stuff from their websites.

5. Yep, Americans finally woke up realized they like affordable health care

and don't want to lose it. Too bad so many were watching Fux Ruse and didn't even know the ACA and Obamacare were the SAME until it was being taken from them....DUH! The Dems could win if they ran on this issue alone since the majority of all voters (Dems, GOP, and Indep) prefer the ACA. I have said this for a year. Also, the Tax Scam for the rich didn't go over too well. People didn't fall for that load of BS either. Dems need to be vocal about these issues and FIGHT back hard!
