This *is* the same Matt Lewis who said on @DMZshow that the GOP ABSOLUTELY has to repeal just 2 or 3 weeks ago, right?

yes. I set out to write a column on exactly how to do that. What I discovered chastened me.

You have no idea how your honesty & humbleness is appreciated. I think you know what to write.

thank you for taking this seriously and writing honestly. Q: how many Rs in congress realize repeal is politically untenable?
-
My sense is that they are naive about the complications and challenges involved.
-
Appreciate your candor. Their "kids in a candy shop" zeal, comb. w/ hatred of Obama is terrifying.

you've been pushing for a repeal of a law you didn't understand despite having 6 years to figure it out?
-
Obamacare is bad. But replacing it is going to be very complicated and difficult.
-
Advocating repeal without understanding how/why to do it is "bad".
-
Repubs seem to think the "game" is won by winning elections not by governing competently and improving lives.

So you admit you have been criticizing it for years without doing the work to understand it? Isn't that pretty unprofessional?
-
no, Obamacare deserves criticism. But fixing it is incredibly complicated and difficult.
-
Right, but isn't there responsibility to understand consequences of full repeal *before* calling for full repeal, which you did for years?

'pubs don't care. And the base is so willfully ignorant that they will suffer even more and still blame Obama.
-
this is what worries me. Obama provides them healthcare and Repubs take it away. Dems somehow get the blame...

-
Oh, not "somehow". Trump voters who are not 1%ers, have been voting against their own interests for 30+ yrs.

Gee, so maybe basing policy on hatred of Obama and libtards doesn't work so well.
