The O'Keefe videos don't do anything because they consist literally entirely of falsehoods.
Coincidentally, CNN is also a trash network run by trash executives.

I wish we could nuke the NC GOP from orbit. Of all the branches of the Republican Party they are easily the most insidious.

Not really honestly. There are others that are in actuality, worse, but aren't being threatened/pushed or losing ground on their power so they aren't as desperate. Others would expose themselves to be far worse if they were facing the same situation as NC as it becomes more purplish

It's time to impeach Donald Trump for deleting tweets imo.
If this random North Carolina bullshit is impeachment worthy.

60% is more than enough for me to say, "This is our number one platform in 2018" if I'm leading things.

Right. The right-wing will pepper the airwaves with stories of inordinate waiting times and medical rationing to show the "danger" of a government-run system. Just run on the public option and emphasize that people can buy in to Medicare if they dislike or can't afford their private insurance. That way, they'll feel as though they made the decision and haven't been forced into some inferior government insurance.

Does medicare for all basically mean universal healthcare?
No. Because not enough young people have well enough paying jobs to provide a lot of funding to the Medicare system.
So people would stil go without.

How does the UK's NHS manage? Or I should say, if it weren't subject to Conservative mismanagement and underfunding, how it would manage? They have the same problem with young people and poor job prospects. Or is there a difference between their way of funding through general taxation versus our method of funding Medicare through FICA tax? If we passed Medicare for All, wouldn't it be similar to the NHS in that every citizen would be entitled to use it, the only difference being that they have public hospitals and we have many private ones?
Or have I completely misunderstood the UK system because I know little about it?

Ya'll gotta stop doing this man. The Right is going to inevitably do this for anything the Dems run on, you can't run in fear. Its what did Hillary in. We need a bold vision that WE can own and control the messaging on.

Only 52% strong approval among Republicans seems like the most damaging thing, honestly.

I don't quite understand the reasoning. This is political suicide.
Perhaps the rumors of them expecting a Russia backlash and trying to ram everything through beforehand are true.
The number for Independents there is the most important one of the bunch, and that spells good news for democrats.

That Daily Kos link also talks about the MA gubernatorial election and Baker's popularity. I've become convinced that if Martha Choakley ever wins anything, it'll trigger the apocalypse.

Yup, attach the next Dem president's name to it and suddenly you'll get at least 50% disapproval. Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, just that we've already seen this before with ACA. People support the individual components of ACA just fine (except the mandate), but once it became Obamacare people divided themselves amongst their usual partisan lines.

I KNOW RIGHT???
All they had to do is shore up some of the weaker elements of the ACA, with D votes cause of course that wouldn't pass with House R's. Rebrand it Trumpcare/Republicare and have the easiest win possible.
What % do you think identify as Democrat/Liberal, strongly disapprove of Trump but also strongly disapprove of the primary figureheads for the Dems being dinosaur blowhards like Schumer, Pelosi and Franken?
Aaron Strife

They're more worried about being primaried than they are about losing to Democrats is the problem. They all feel pretty safe in their shitty octopus tentacle R+5 districts.
You also have to consider that while I could see Trump and McConnell wanting to work with Democrats if it meant a win, Ryan is far more ideological than either of them. If they're going to do a healthcare bill it'll be on his terms and that means destroying Medicaid.

0%, because those people don't identify as Dems.

From the LOL Kentucky article:
Uninsured rate down 12% because a Democratic governor cared enough to take the Medicaid expansion offered by a Democratic president and Congress.
They'll never make the connection.
