Just talked to a Republican/Trump voter.

He is brainwashed on every issue except one. Healthcare. Trump voters know the republicans lied to them about healthcare, Obamacare.

Next years election will should be about healthcare. This is why the republicans are in a panic trying to pass something. They are screwed. Seven years of lying about Obamacare to get votes has caught up to them.

But it won't. Pretty soon, their masters will come up with several messages. When one won't work, they will try another and another until all their idiotic voters line back up with them again.

they are just going pass something and then try to blame it on the Democrats for not coming up with something else.

They already started laying the groundwork for that in social media.

First, the only sign is disruption in the wake, next, a few miles away, the ship is drifting.

Slowly changing direction, next thing 90 degrees, and back in the other direction pretty fast.

One party takes over all forms of government unexpectedly,

the lash back in the next election has a snow ball effect, the wave gets bigger and bigger,

and next thing you know it's a tidal wave.

It starts with a very small wedge, healthcare has the potential to be a crowbar


Sorry for the major mix metaphors, but that describes it best
