Gotta blame someone I guess. The fact is that Lewis lost a seat that the Republicans have held for almost 20 years.

And which Trump had carried in 2016.
To: DoodleDawg
He’s right. Him, and Ryan can be blamed for the losses.

Perhaps so, but it wasn’t because he lacked juevos. You may remember, he subbed for Rush 3 or 4 years ago on several occasions. Rock solid but in Minnesota :(.

Not sending the same obamacare repeal bill to Trump, that you had sent 50 times to Obama, was pretty stupid.
There is a good reason the GOP is called “the stupid party”

He forgot Ryan. Tax cut that his masters the Koch’s could live with, but no go on the Wall or Obamacare which is what a lot of America wanted fixed. He will be fine as a lobbyist, we will live through hell the next two years.

He will be fine as a lobbyist... He's a one-term congressman. He doesn't have enough influence to become a lobbyist.
To: DoodleDawg
He is RIGHT!! The BIG PROMISE was that they would DEFEAT OBAMACARE, and that FRAUD REPUBLIUCAN CREEP, McCAIN HAD HIS FAMOUS THUMBS DOWN!

Novel argument? Pretty good one actually. McCain stopped Trump from dealing with Obamacare which became the #1 Democrat issue.
To: Ann Archy
The BIG PROMISE was that they would DEFEAT OBAMACARE, and that FRAUD REPUBLIUCAN CREEP, McCAIN HAD HIS FAMOUS THUMBS DOWN! Except that it wasn't a repeal of Obamacare. It was a repeal and replace and the replace did away with the same pre-existing condition coverage that he claims killed him in the election. He lost a district that Trump won. He has only himself to blame.

Ryan was no Conservative, that is who I am blaming besides McCain...

In the two lost House seats in Iowa, he’s exactly right. No GOP answer to the health care insurance debacle.

A lot of truth to this. I heard many ads here, especially anti-Coffman ads, that lied about Republicans wanting to do away with pre-existing conditions protection. How do you counter that? Explain that the Republican bill that a Republican Senate rejected would have kept the protection in? It's true but it sounds like woulda, coulda, shoulda, and the dog ate my homework.
McPain, the gift that keeps on giving, even from the grave.

Josh Hawley won the Senate in Missouri in spite of a history of trying to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. If Lewis really thinks that's all that lost his seat for him then he's whiny little idiot. A lot of things go into losing a re-election and most of them lie with the candidate himself.

In the two lost House seats in Iowa, hes exactly right. No GOP answer to the health care insurance debacle. Campaigns are seldom decided on a single issue. They're decided on any number of things, but mostly on the candidate themselves.
To: DoodleDawg
Generally true, but sometimes they ARE decided on one issue.

The dems spent billions on health care ads. It clearly had an effect. They somehow regained the high ground despite causing the very problems people face. The GOPs handling of healthcare in the current term was a complete debacle. It cost them bigly.
