That's a strong statement and no matter what happens, I don't expect the Democrat's to capture hardcore GOP voters without an Economic message that will appeal to them.
But, when I read newspapers in GOP districts from states that expanded Medicaid, I see GOP congressman discussing their concerns that TrumpRyanCare doesn't create a system that will work for the working poor and lower middle class when it is fully implemented. Because these peoples jobs almost certainly do not last forever, and may or may not provide them with health insurance, they move on and off of Medicaid over time. TrumpRyanCare would not cover them once they left the rolls in 2020.
Meanwhile, hard core Conservatives who dominate the alt-right media channels are against anything that falls short of a full repeal of ObamaCare and a return to misery for many that the pre-ObamaCare generated.
Reading the WAPO today was like reading war stories with words as the weapon of choice.
It is too much too hope for, perhaps, but is it possible the GOP cracks up over the American Health Care Act, aka TrumpRyanCare, and cannot be stitched back together before the 2018 election and the voters actually decide they want to throw the bums out and elect a Democratic Congress?
Maybe that thought will make my dreams more pleasant tonight.
