Leaked Recording Shows GOP KNOWS OBAMACARE WORKED.

http://www.learnprogress.org/leaked-recording-gop-obamacare/


BREAKING: Leaked Recording Shows GOP KNOWS OBAMACARE WORKED. They’re All Liars.

Team Trump has been falsely claiming that they’re blowing up Obamacare because it didn’t work. Now, we have evidence that exposes Republicans as being terrified over this big fat lie.

Secret recordings just published by The Washington Post expose the GOP as freaking out over their own repeal of Obamacare. And they’re freaking out because they’ve been caught in their own bluff and now they’re afraid of the consequences.

The truth of the matter is that Obamacare works, and it’s provided health insurance to tens of millions of Americans. So Team Trump is shaking in their boots because they know whatever plans they come up with won’t be able to insure as many Americans as Obamacare did.

People in order to stay in power. Democrats have never fought the message on the law effectively.

much like Social Security, they hate any government policy/action that disproves their basic thesis that government can't do anything right.

It's Trumpism in microcosm. It's more important to be correct in their philosophy than to allow something that actually helps people to survive.

It seems like they're more concerned about the political ramifications. Can you provide any excerpts?

same thing as Obamacare. That's why most of the RW will not call it anything but Obamacare. They're really calling their own people stupid by playing it that way.

I looked all over the web.
A lot of talk ABOUT it, but no link to recording.
