The Republicans are more of a danger to America than ISIS.

Republicans are willing to let thousands of Americans die because they hate Obama so much.

In fact, it's already been shown that thousands of Americans will die in states that don't expand Medicaid:

As many as 17,000 Americans will die directly as a result of states deciding not to expand Medicaid under Obamacare, according to a new study.

Researchers from Harvard University and City University of New York have estimated that between 7,115 and 17,104 deaths will be "attributable to the lack of Medicaid expansion in opt-out states" in a study published in Health Affairs.

"The results were sobering," Samuel Dickman, one of the authors, said, according to the Morning Call. "Political decisions have consequences, some of them lethal."


How many Americans has ISIS killed? I don't think they've killed thousands or will kill thousands in the future.

Republicans are more of a threat to Americans than ISIS will ever be.

with no ships or planes, is not a threat.

An enemy across the street is.
