..."This is what we were elected to do," (repealing the ACA) without having noticed that their constituents have largely changed their minds about this. Surely they at least heard about the dismal level of support, or, more accurately, lack of support once people learned about the secretly-crafted bill. Wasn't it something like 17%.

If your voters change their minds about an issue, Mitch, don't you owe it to them to follow their new preference?
