I'm sorry to have to admit it because I don't like feeling that way. But I found myself saying - "I hope they DO lose their health care. I hope this botch-job of a "health care plan" passes and all the trump supporters get screwed. See how they feel about that, then, since that's what they voted for - by voting for him."

That's pretty awful to say, and I apologize. Unfortunately, maybe people have to learn the hard way. Including the painful lessons they could have avoided. It's a shame, but that seems to be the way the cookie crumbles.
