Here are the 20 House Republicans who opposed the repeal and replacing of Obamacare:

• Andy Biggs (Ariz.) (Pro-Trump, reelected)
• Mike Coffman (Colo.) (Anti-Trump*, LOST reelection)
• Barbara Comstock (Va.) (Anti-Trump*, LOST reelection)
• Ryan Costello (Pa.) (Anti-Trump, Retired)
• Charlie Dent (Pa.) (Anti-Trump*, Retired)
• Dan Donovan (N.Y.) (Pro-Trump, LOST reelection)
• Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) (Anti-Trump*, reelected)
• Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.) (Pro-Trump, Reelected)
• Will Hurd (Texas) (Anti-Trump*, reelected)
• Walter Jones (N.C.)(Anti-Trump*, LOST reelection)
• David Joyce (Ohio) (Anti-Trump, reelected)
• John Katko (N.Y.) (Anti-Trump*, LOST reelection)
• Leonard Lance (N.J.) (Anti-Trump, LOST reelection)
• Frank LoBiondo (N.J.) (Anti-Trump*, Retired)
• Thomas Massie (Ky.) (Anti-Trump, reelected)
• Patrick Meehan (Pa.) (Anti-Trump*, Retired)
• Dave Reichert (Wash.) (Anti-Trump, Retired)
• Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.) (Anti-Trump*, Retired)
• Chris Smith (N.J.) (Pro-Trump*, reelected)
• Michael Turner (Ohio) (Anti-Trump, reelected)

*Means they also refused to endorse Trump in the 2018 Presidential Election.
Pro-Trump = generally speak highly of Trump & his Agenda in public.
Anti-Trump = generally speak highly negative of Trump & his Agenda in public.

4 were Pro-Trump out of the 20 who voted against ACA repeal & replace. 3 won reelection and 1 lost reelection.

16 were Anti-Trump out of the 20 voted against ACA repeal & replace. 5 of them LOST reelection, 5 of them WON reelection, & 6 Retired/Resigned.

8 of the 11 did not endorse Trump when he ran for President lost (4) in reelection or (4) retired/resigned because they couldn't win in reelection.

Democrats won 40 Congressional Seats of which 12 who voted against the ACA repeal & replace lost their seats or were forced to retire/resign.

They’re all garbage. Can’t be both pro Trump and pro Obamacare. Primary all those who were re elected

Your measurements seems a bit subjective and looks like you are fitting your data to your desired results. For example:

quote:

• Chris Smith (N.J.) (Pro-Trump*, reelected)

*Means they also refused to endorse Trump in the 2018 Presidential Election.
Pro-Trump = generally speak highly of Trump & his Agenda in public.
Anti-Trump = generally speak highly negative of Trump & his Agenda in public.


So Rep Smith voted against the ACA repeal and refused to endorse Trump but yet you rate them as "Pro-trump"? It looks like you just want it to seems like Pro-trump people got reelected and are fitting the data to make it so. Which honestly is probably unnecessary. One or two counter examples does not disprove the overall point.

Rep Chris Smith was the anomaly here because after refusing to endorse Trump and voting against the ACA repeal and replace he started becoming a public defender and advocate for Trump. I looked at historical statements and recent statements made by the Republicans so it isn't subjective it is just that this guy did a 180 degree change. He was the only one of the 20 that did that.
