(32,139 posts)Now that he has been elected, he is already behaving like a corporate Trojan Horse. After spending the campaign talking about how he would use the budget to expand Medicaid in Virginia, he is already backtracking and saying that he wants to work with Republicans, instead, so Virginians should know it might take a long, long time...
Va. Medicaid expansion still faces uphill battle, even after McAuliffe win

During the campaign, McAuliffe indicated he might try to expand Medicaid via the budget, the political equivalent of dousing all of Richmond in lighter fluid Republicans believe that would violate the law that created the 10-member commission.
Thats not the tone his transition team is sounding. Spokesman Brian Coy told me he wants to build a foundation for Medicaid expansion, work with both parties and proceed with reforms collaboratively.
Hes committed to this as long as it takes, Coy said.
It does not surprise me at all that he would also retain Mr. Mandatory Transvaginal Ultrasound.

When fake Dems campaign one way and govern another, the people are confused and the status quo is protected.

And yes, it was still well worth it to keep Cuccinelli out of the governor's mansion...
