GOP Now Wants to Fix Obamacare


"Republicans have shifted their strategy on Obamacare," The Hill reports.

"Weeks ago, many Republicans said Obamacare -- including Speaker John Boehner (OH) -- was too broken to fix. But now, the GOP is drafting legislation that aims to do just that."

"The GOP wants to rebuild its political capital and public credibility by solving Obamacare's implementation problems. This pivot comes after Republicans took major hits in polls following the government shutdown."

GOP Donors Plot Against Amash


"Business leaders are plotting to take down Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) as part of a broader effort to punish lawmakers over the government shutdown," The Hill reports.

Prominent Michigan donors are requesting financial backing for Amash's primary challenger, Brian Ellis (R), arguing that Amash "and others have effectively nullified the Republican majority in the U.S. House."

Stick their head in it. We'll tap them on the shoulder when it's fixed.
