According to Nate Silver in this article, while the health care loss is embarrassing, it's the least worst outcome for Trump. Mostly because if the bill had been passed, Republicans would have to justify to their constituents (remember that most of the same people that voted for Trump are going to be hit hardest by the health care bill) exactly why they screwed them over come midterms. Any thoughts on this?
While failure to pass the AHCA would probably come as a difficult blow to hardcore conservatives who wanted Obamacare gone, I'm not sure how much it'll impact Republican control of the House come midterms. Sure, the Dems can run ads saying the Republicans are incompetent at governing, but that same strategy was tried during the general election to not much effect, wasn't it?
I dunno, really. I feel conflicted.
