Well you better hope someone figures it out. The Dems are determined to ride Obamacare straight into the ground to protect Obama's legacy and the republicans are too afraid to touch it despite all their talk.


Edit: now that I think about it, that's all this is about. Dems want to protect the Obama legacy at all costs, and the republicans are sitting on the sidelines because they don't want to get the blame for destroying/ dismantling the legacy of the first black president.

This is what really bothers me. Blame the tea party obstructionists or us anti-Trump obstructionists, it doesn't really matter. The problem comes down to party over country, and ideology over pragmatism.

I doubt any one politician has the answer to this issue. People are going to have to suck it up and work with the other side. Unfortunately, they've (both sides) spent the past 20 years portraying that other side as evil, unpatriotic and stupid. They've won elections that way and they're scared to do what's right due to optics, i.e. election consequences.
