No hiding behind -- Mikey never put it to a vote....

They will either have to go with Mango Mussolini and Mikey boy against the wishes of the majority of their constituents who want the ACA and stand by that vote in the general election

OR

Do the right thing and put the pressure on the Senate

Even many districts that were gerrymandered to be "safely republican" may fall under the weight of so many unpopular policies, high inflation, a recession, and a war to steal oil and minerals in Venzuela
