And Republicans across the country should take note.
According to all the polls leading up to last Tuesdayâs gubernatorial election in Kentucky, Republican businessman Matt Bevin wasnât supposed to have a chance. This was the same Matt Bevin who had launched a lamentably unsuccessful primary campaign last year against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and was treated by much of the press in the state (OK, technically the commonwealth) as a loose cannon who couldnât be taken seriously.
But Mr. Bevin pounded away at ObamaCare. And if youâre wondering why, since thatâs ostensibly a national issue, you might recall that the whole idea of ObamaCare was for states (or in this case, commonwealths) to set up their own exchanges for people to buy and sell ObamaCare-approved policies.
Consequences in action.
What happens when a Democrat President goes to McConnell and Ryan and says, "We need to replace this with a single payer plan?"
We know McConnell is all in for anything Obama and Reid would like to do. Where can we expect Ryan to be on this?
Ryan, unfortunately, is Boehner with slightly more political caution. He will stick his finger up to ascertain the direction of the political winds, not for what is good for the country. If the little maneuver wasn’t necessary, he’d vote for it.
I have NO idea. Do you?
