Since those people (you know who) lie about everything why would anyone believe

that the assault on the ACA is over?
It is still TARGET #1, followed by SS, whatever is left of Medicaid and Medicare.

What may change is any chance they will tell us anything they are doing.

1. It's not up to him,

it's congress, and 'anything they are doing' may or may not leak.

2. Nor would I ever believe any statement from the right side of the aisle

[elleng]

3. Right. Watch what they DO.

4. I don't think anybody here believes it is "over"...

far from it. Don't confuse a momentary break to enjoy a victory along the way as an indication that people are abandoning the path.

This is a deep philosophical, almost religious fight. We are opposed by a group that firmly believes in destroying the social safety net for ideological reasons, regardless of the effect on millions of people. We cannot change their minds. The only thing we can do is mobilize and outnumber them. The thousands and millions that have mobilized, marched, and attended town halls across the country are not, IMHO, mainly those who voted for Trump and "changed their minds." I suspect most of them are those who didn't vote because they thought it didn't matter and have woken to the fact that their ambivalence has caused damage to the country and are finally awakening to the idea that they can fight back for their families and neighbors.
