They were probably all for repealing Obamacare, but not the ACA. You may very well be right, that they didn't understand that Obamacare and ACA are the same thing... Also, Trump boasted in his campaigning that he would create a beautiful healthcare plan. Maybe people actually believed him, then that clown car show with a self-congratulatory kegger on the White House lawn and subsequent failures to create any sustainable plan might have soured a few voters.

According to Public Policy Polling, "Our election night poll in PA-18 found that health care was a defining issue in the race. 52% said it was either the most important issue or very important in their vote, and Conor Lamb won those voters 62 to 38." "Only 39% of voters in PA-18 supported the GOP efforts to repeal the Affordable Health Act, 53% were opposed. Among Independents who Lamb won 58-41, just 33% supported GOP repeal efforts with 63% opposed." If they were opposed to repealing the ACA, why did they go 20 points for Trump? It was a signature part of his campaign. Probably not seeing the change they were promised. Maybe they have 'woke' and feeling the effects of their opioid and heroin crisis. Discovered that ACA is Obamacare. I scratch my head watching those ride or die Trumpster defenders in opioid crisis town halls/specials. ETA: I'm also curious to see how many new millennials and gen Zer's voted.

I think Republicans are trying to soothe themselves now by claiming Lamb isn't a real Democrat. Keep at it, Republicans, while we stay busy stealing more Congressional seats from you. Not even sure what to do with this as a moderate Republican, but understand your statement.

It was aimed at the PP's who were getting busy explaining to us why this Dem win was really no big deal, that Lamb is really just a Republican Wolf in disguise. ha haha, I do amuse myself.

And here we go again.... as the Democrat still holds the lead now come the allegations that the voting machines weren't set up correctly, people voted who weren't on the rolls, yadda yadda yadda. Consider this, maybe just maybe, the majority of voters didn't support your candidate and the positions upon which he campaigned. Earth shattering isn't it!? I think November is going to blow their minds...

I am a registered Republican and the mail/email I am getting for donations has been urgent and they are quite worried. If the Republicans don't start winning, all of Trump's hard work will be for nothing.

His signature seems like he pushes hard and takes his time to make all of those strokes. Looks like a heart machine print out.
