Grimes blasted the hell out of Mitch today..

However my question is: Why did she not scream about the success of the expanded ACA medicaid
Program..It’s providing so much relief to thousands down there?

I think it trumps the Obama racist hatred card..

Anyway thanks bigdarryl for original post..

Without the rest of us suffering their fate then maybe they'll figure out how to stop voting against themselves.
They obviously like Kynect maybe someone should tell them It IS the ACA and if they hate ACA so much they should give up Kynevt. If they are too proud to accept that they deserve what they get.

And if you would read my other response you would see that I said I hope Bill Clinton will tell them how they have benefited from the ACA when he comes to the state this week. Fortunately, he is smart enough to tell them such a thing without calling them "silly hillbillies" or inferring it. That's why he carried the state. But go ahead and act like the liberal elitists the right has convinced these "silly hillbillies" that you are and see where that gets you.

Don't accuse me of calling them names. I clearly did no such thing. Secondly, I'm sick of people who run around talking about personal responsibility acting completely irresponsible and irrational. We are all suffering the consequence. You can call it whatever you'd like but since you started out your rebuttal accusing me of name calling which is what you're actually doing I will just call you a hypocrite. Have fun in the moth ball box.

As unfair as it may be, they will listen to him explain things when they won't listen to others. I'm talking about the common people here in Kentucky who supported Clinton heavily in the past because he could connect with them. Alison is doing a very good job trying to connect with them as well. And when I used the word "them" I am not trying to be an elitist. I'm one of them too.
