What Republicans Are Watching Ahead of the Midterms

https://politicalwire.com/2018/06/24/what-republicans-are-watching-ahead-of-midterms/

"SNIP........

A source close to GOP leadership emails Jonathan Swan: “Only thing that matters now is a) how bad they get crushed on ACA premium increases; b) the final Mueller verdict; and c) how crazy Trump gets with the CR.”

“Republicans are worried about the potential for health insurance premiums to skyrocket in September, shortly before the midterms. Democrats are seizing on health care as their number one issue. Senior Democratic sources say their polling shows voters are now blaming their dissatisfaction with health care on the party that controls the House, Senate and White House rather than the party that implemented the Affordable Care Act.”

“The final Mueller verdict speaks for itself: it would take a new revelation of the most explosive kind to persuade any Republican senators to vote to impeach Trump.”

“And the CR — or continuing resolution — refers to the government spending bill that’s due to expire at the end of September. The unanswerable question is whether Trump decides to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn’t give him enough money to build his wall (spoiler: it won’t).”

Thanks RUMP! My deplorable friend was bitching about the ACA premiums and I told just you wait there buddy - you ain't seen nothing yet and we got RUMP on video of how proud he is of gutting it with no replacement and we'll be sure to broadcast that from coast to coast.
