You guys don't get it!

This is no longer about writing anything, the fact is that these people are going to have to pay for Obamacare, and that is a reality no writer can change.


I think that you overestimate the intelligence of the low information voter. They are indoctrinated to despise Republicans, and to blame them no matter how flimsy the rationale. Will people pay? Yes, but that isn't the end of the story. They will also be exposed to non-stop coverage over what a glorious success it is, and so many sob-stories the world will see a sudden shortage of tissue paper. And many people will buy into it, even as they see their premiums rise.

Think, for a second, on how we have meekly accepted $3.50 gas. When Obama came in, it was under 2, and while it occasionally rose, this increase has been permanent. For decades, the clueless consultants assured us that gas prices determined election outcomes. And then, as in now, they are wrong. The debacle of ObamaCare will not have a significant effect on the election, at least, not once the media is finished.

This dynamic changes if, and only if, the Republicans hold firm.

The reality is that they will be paying for something they thought they were going to get for free, and moreover, they have no choice!

If it doesn't make them GOP voters, it will certainly keep them home on election day.
