Obama is exactly like the Democratic Party. He views the middle class as white and disposable. We are collateral damage in the pursuit of racial justice.

When my eyes first caught the title I immediately thought no worries for the Democrats. The Republican party will always keep them alive. Both parties are too dumb to die.

I’m sorry, their angst is about as deep as a parking lot puddle. Their “regrets” are all for the cameras and purely BS! To prove it, put a bill before the senate that repeals zero-care and see if they vote for it. If they do and when zero vetoes it, see if they still support it when it comes around for an override. News flash, they won’t!

The half breed needs no political party. Step one in becoming emperor for life is his legislation by executive order. Destroying the two wings of the Democan Party is step two. Step three will be dissolving the Congress.

So fell the Roman republic; so too does the American republic.

Is your flag upside down yet? If not, why? If not, when?

Thing is, if the Democrat Party goes down, they’ll just become Republicans and dilute the party even further.

A $10K deductible is like having catastrophic health insurance. For a premium that is significantly higher than catastrophic insurance would have had before ObamaCare.

About as many as are employed by various governments or receiving benefits.

Schumer and Hillary are probably closer than Schumer and Obuma. His little campaign is likely for her benefit and his also. I’m sure he’d rather have a DC position than stay in the senate forever. He’s 64....That’s when people get restless....and go through the “Now what do I do”.

Obamacare fould be destroying the Democrat Party except that the Republicans are rushing in with bandaids and firehoses to save the Democrat party.

But you get a free annual checkup and birth control <<

Yup! ...and if something is discovered that needs further care or consultation, you will be issued a huge bottle of asprin and given an appointment date 3 years from the anniversary date of your “free checkup”

Schumer is masking himself so the Republicans can be more comfortable working across the aisle.

The worst part of Obamacare is the mainstreaming of deductibles. This was done on purpose to screw the middle class so that they only use healthcare services for emergencies, and not care. This frees up time and services in the healthcare industry and saves money for insurers. All to give free healthcare and health insurance to the Obama crowd.

I have had blue cross with my employer for 20 years. Only in the past couple of years have I had to deal with deductibles. Prior to that it was a monthly premium taken out of my check, and a co pay at the doctor if anyone was sick. Now with a $5000 deduct, I still pay my monthly premium but basically can’t use my insurance unless its an emergency.

Obozo talks about the costs of healthcare spending going down. No kidding. Because no one can use their insurance now due to deductibles.

The treasure trove of "The Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby" (and down-ticket state wins) has yet to be fully- mined, but this we know:

<><> 9 states ousted Democrat Senators AK AL AR CO IA MT NC SD WV

<><> As LA's Landrieu's loss looms, Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber.

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas

<><> Of the 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican.

<><> the GOP's majority in the House will be so big and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Democrats can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> When the next Senate convenes, 29 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare will be gone.

<><> Even Arkansas and Illinois (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race since guvs control party machinery.

Could be he is looking down the road and seeing the train crash that is coming and he is inoculating him self as much as possible. Or he believes the Supreme Court will effectively doom it. Either way it has come to view it as a loser politically.....more dems will be joining him!!
