I have come to the realization that GOP voters are Charlie Brown

and the GOP itself is Lucy.

Every poll of issues shows health care as THE most important issue for voters. Remember when the GOP Congress was gung-ho going to kill The Affordable Health bill? And would have done so, save for John McCain? And Trump was Soooooo pissed?

Now with about 10 days to go to the midterms, the GOP Candidates are shouting to the heavens that THEY are going to make sure that insurance companies MUST cover pre-existing conditions, because the Democrats want to get rid of it. Even as they are parties to suits in several states trying to get the provision to cover pre-existing conditions thrown out!

And voters are buying it, just like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football and Lucy pulling it away at the last second. And Charlie Brown, like GOP voters, never learns that Lucy is lying to him every single time.

<sigh> I guess we will know in just a few days whether the US that we all grew up in will survive or whether we are living through the end of our country. Just saw tonight that Trump's approval rating is up to almost 45%.
