Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that Democratic congressional candidates would win by running on Obamacare in the 2014 midterm elections.
“I think, actually, Candy, that Democratic candidates will be able to run on ObamaCare as an advantage leading into the 2014 election,” Wasserman Schultz told host Candy Crowley.
Crowley had been asking Wasserman Schultz about the common perception that the Obamacare issue had made the Virginia governor’s race closer than expected, causing Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe to lose ground in the final days of the raise, ultimately eeking out a narrow victory over Republican Ken Cuccinelli,
“I think Obamacare, because Americans have been feeling the benefits since 2010, where young adults can stay on their parents' insurance until they're 26, where on January 1 if you have a preexisting condition, like I do, as you know, as a breast cancer survivor, the peace of mind … that those Americans are going to have knowing that they can never be dropped or denied coverage for that preexisting condition, the preventative care that's available without a co-pay or a deductible, those are benefits that Americans have already been feeling and will increasingly feel as Obamacare is fully implemented,” said Wasserman Schultz.
At the end of the segment, Crowley asked Wasserman Schultz: “And just a yes or no, because I've got to run. You believe that Democrats will win running on Obamacare in 2014?”
“I think because Americans reject the Tea Party extremism, they want us to focus on creating jobs and working together, and because they will feel--
“That's not exactly a yes,” interjected Crowley
“--the benefits of Obamacare, yes,” concluded Wasserman Schultz.
“Okay, all right. Thank you so much,” said Crowley.
“There you go,” said Wasserman Schultz.
Go for it, Debbie. Send Obama to EVERY Congressional District in the U.S. Run commercials saying that “(insert name of Democrat Candidate) stands by Obamacare, LOVES Obamacare, and will bring more policies like Obamacare to you if you elect him.”
The term “dingbat” comes to mind.
Another false flag, see if the MSM is still bought.
Go right ahead, you dumb twit. Makes it easier for us.
Debbie would probably be more successful if she ran
on a free jar of mayonaise to every household.
With the help of Karl Rove-Wasserman-Schultz, Debbie and the DNC will vilify the Tea Party, split the Cruz conservatives from the Romney RINOs, and together - she may damn well be right. Her logic sucks, but her end results may occur.
I completely missed this one. First, I won’t watch Candy. Second, I don’t watch CNN. I guess I’m not in a minority given CNN’s viewership. Given that, I will watch Debbie for a good laugh.
This comment is directed at the certain group of people that want so badly to believe the lie that all it takes to convince them is for somebody to have the chutzpa to say it.
I think Wasserman got her perm to tight.
Delusional.
Delusional.
not just her curls being tight, but dang what is she smoking?
They have either completely mastered vote fraud or are completely out of touch.
yes, reason has left half of the people of the country and fraud will carry the day
Let 'em run on it, let them proclaim it to be a wild success. What better way to show the American voting public just how completely out of touch she and the Democrats are.
I couldn't possibly write a better script than that.
She’s so stupid, it’s a pity she can’t be in the Congressional Black Caucus.
I agree with Debbie W.S., unless we conservatives find a few people to articulate why we are better off with ObamaCare not working or repealed and replaced. I understand it, most everybody on FR understands how unworkable and undesireable this plan is, but we will have to ‘talk to the animals’ so to speak, so they also get it, so they come to this enlightment pretty much on their own.
If we do nothing, except keep on preaching to the same choirs, nothing changes.
