ACA is now the new abortion rights to GOP

[Motownman78]

They will now run on repealing ACA just like they run on repealing Roe v Wade.

1. They have been running on repeal ACA for the last 7 years

[Motownman78]

2. And they will continue to do so

They can say "Please vote for me to repeal ACA". If the GOP had won, they would have been screwed in 2018. Now they are going to keep their seats.

3. We can never allow the Senate to have more than 49 republican senators.

Unfortunately, that will take some doing and not feasible for more than a few years at a time.

**Corrected** on edit.

4. You mean 49 republican Senators?

5. Corrected, yes.

6. Or Planned Parenthood participation in Medicare services. Dogma, both of them. (nt)

7. Not sure I agree

With Abortion they blame the courts. No one will forget we still have the ACA because they could not vote to repeal it even with a majority.


I think last night may be remembered as the point where it became apparent that most Americans consider Health Care a right. And that needs to be our new motto.

8. I don't agree

Transgender issues are the new "go-to" for the GOP.

First it was abortion, then gay marriage.

The ACA doesn't rile up the fundie, bigot, right-wing, Christian base as much asTransgender access to bathrooms and equal treatment does.

Midterms are about getting out the vote and nothing brings out the zealots like a good sexual activity related issue.
