Krugman: Obamacare Will Be A Debacle — For Republicans

48. Those skewed "morals" they vote on

won't help them get medical help when they need it. It won't pay the rent or mortgage. It won't feed or educate their children. It won't create jobs. But as long as these Democratic Party programs continue to help them no matter how they vote, why should they change their political party? They still have the luxury of voting based on "morals". But when these programs are removed and the day-to-day pains hit home because of it, they'll finally wake up from their sleep and be outraged.

Even Sen. Ron Portman of Ohio was forced to have an epiphany and supported same-sex marriage when his son came out. This is what I mean by something needs to happen to affect them personally before Republicans change their minds and begin to think and vote like Democrats.

Republicans in the Senate, seeing that Latino backlash and that their cushy job is in jeopardy if they don't stop with all the anti-Latino bullshit, are suddenly all Democrats in trying to pass immigration reform.

Watching this trend, I have to unfortunately conclude, that it will be the Latinos, Hispanics, and Asians who will, collectively, turn this country blue because unlike some Whites (Republicans exclusively), those groups don't pay attention to corporate media, distrust it, and will keep a clear head in order to vote for the Party that promises to work in their best interest.
