Either that or they are relying on the "Wall of Meat" to protect them. Either way, they ARE cowards.

Everything is margin for error. Now that one person would be targeted it simply is not going to happen.

I don't think people here grasp how the change is going to be portrayed. We can rightfully be talking about killing people but Trump will tout it as saving the country. That phrase or one like it will enter the national dialog. Even if they repeal but don't replace it will be saving the country.

No different than that surrogate who said recently that we will never know if Hillary actually won the popular vote. Truth is meaningless at this stage. Once they make the health care change my 74 year old Republican aunt will watch the local FOX affiliate here in Miami and be proud of her vote choice once again. She's a retired nurse, BTW. That aspect won't mean anything. She voted for Trump who promised to get rid of Obamacare so she'll be thrilled with him once again, and join tens of millions who agree.

The people who die after losing health care were never on a network show like The Apprentice.
