These 24 Republicans Were Already Vulnerableand Now They Just Voted to Repeal Obamacare
They all represent districts where Donald Trump got a minority of the vote.

On Thursday afternoon, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the American Health Care Act, which would repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave in its place...something else. We don't really know what AHCA would do because it passed the House before the Congressional Budget Office could score it. The CBO's report on the earlier iteration of AHCA, which died in the House in March, revealed that it would cause an additional 24 million Americans to go without health insurance by 2026.
As expected, no Democrats voted for AHCA; 217 Republicans did, including some of the most vulnerable members of the caucus.
The bill picked up support from 14 Republicans whose districts were carried by Hillary Clinton in November:
Carlos Curbelo (Fla.): Clinton 56.7Trump 40.6
David Valadao (Calif.): Clinton 55.2Trump 39.7
Ed Royce (Calif.): Clinton 51.5Trump 42.9
Erik Paulsen (Minn.): Clinton 50.8Trump 41.4
Darrell Issa (Calif.): Clinton 50.7Trump 43.2
Steve Knight (Calif.): Clinton 50.3Trump 43.6
Peter Roskam (Ill.): Clinton 50.2Trump 43.2
Mimi Walters (Calif.): Clinton 49.844.4
Martha McSally (Ariz.): Clinton 49.6Trump 44.7
Jeff Denham (Calif.): Clinton 48.5Trump 45.5
Pete Sessions (Texas): Clinton 48.5Trump 46.6
John Culberson (Texas): Clinton 48.5Trump 47.1
Dana Rohrabacher (Calif.): Clinton 47.9Trump 46.2
Kevin Yoder (Kans.): Clinton 47.2Trump 46.0
The bill picked up an additional 10 votes from Republicans in districts where Trump received less than 50 percent of the vote:
Jason Lewis (Minn.): Trump 46.5Clinton 45.3
Don Bacon (Neb.): Trump 48.2Clinton 46
David Young (Iowa): Trump 48.5Clinton 45
Rod Blum (Iowa) Trump 48.7Clinton 45.2

Jeff Denham switched as he was a No up until today. He is a mealy-mouth limp dick who is a backbencher with no backbone. In every one of his re-election campaigns, he ran away from his own party. He never identified himself as a Republican, just "A Farmer" .
