Not quite yet, but when they get questioned on their "Repeal and Replace", craziness thats where it seems to lead them to. None of them have slipped up and actually said it yet but a couple have come close. I heard one saying that Medicare is Constitutional but HCR isn't. Well if thats true it would logically mean Medicare for all is the way to go. Wouldn't it?

Watch how they get all tongue twisted when questioned about this and see for yourself. You will see they are not comfortable discussing this.

2. Well, good.
So we can push them to vote for it when it is introduced as a bill then.

6. Didn't bother to look it up
I think there are some who are okay with it but they don't want to be seen as liking something Democrats like too.

Sort of how they were FOR the mandate before they were against it.

8. You have noticed the Republicans twisting themselves into a pretzel over this too haven't you?
I think if President Obama keeps portraying himself as a "War President", the Republicans will be calling for an end to the wars soon too.

That image is not the one they want to go up against next election. Its a losing proposition for them and they know it.

10. Obama is doing a bit of triangulation. Not too costly. Working well.
They are in dissaray as to what to pledge death before. The very earth beneath their feet is shifting. The game changer will be surprising, I just thought it might be single payer, or some variant.
