Vulnerable Republicans Face Fierce Backlash at Home Over Failure to Repeal Obamacare

Vulnerable Republicans Face Fierce Backlash at Home Over Failure to Repeal Obamacare
Posted on
April 10, 2017

Congress is getting ready to take its Easter recess, but for some it’s not likely to be a relaxing break.

Some members will be returning to their home districts to face brutal attack ads and fierce backlash from their constituents for their failure to repeal and replace Obamacare – a promise that united the GOP for seven years but has yet to materialize.

But congressional leadership is pledging that Obamacare repeal is still on the table – just as soon as they can all settle on what the new legislation will look like. Meanwhile pro-Obamacare groups are blanketing the airwaves in a few districts to put pressure on the GOP to drop the Obamacare repeal effort once and for all.

Bridge Project Says ‘Trumpcare 2.0’ is ‘Another Disaster’



The Bridge Project – a branch of American Bridge 21st Century – is going after “moderate” Republicans for getting roped into the plans laid out by the rightwing “Freedom Caucus” in Congress.

“Republicans in Congress are fighting to bring back Donald Trump’s disastrous health care bill,” a foreboding narrator says. “If Trumpcare became law, it would gut healthcare in America and signal disaster for millions of families. Over 26 million Americans would lose their health insurance.”

“Not surprisingly, Trumpcare is very unpopular,” he adds as poll results showing poor public ratings for health care repeal flash on the screen. “So why are Republicans fighting for it? Because people who earn over a million dollars a year would get tax cuts totaling $144 billion.”

California Congressman Darrell Issa Is the First to Get Singled Out After Obamacare Repeal Failure

.

Save My Care – a pro-Obamacare group who has been heading the charge to kill Obamacare repeal – picked a specific Republican congressman to pressure into giving up on Obamacare repeal: California Republican Darrell Issa.

"Congressman Issa promised to protect our health care, but when right-wing politicians tried to pass a disastrous health care repeal bill that raises cost and cuts coverage, Issa wouldn't oppose them," a male narrator intones as ominous music plays, in one version of the ad.

Issa is likely to see plenty more attack ads in the future – since his district of Orange County, California was carried by Hillary Clinton by 8% in 2016. The ad, “Issa Wouldn’t” is the first ad in a seven-figure series that will go on to attack five vulnerable Republicans who represent districts that Clinton won in the presidential election.

Arizona's Martha McSally, Colorado's Mike Coffman, Florida's Carlos Curbelo and California's David Valadao will face similar ads. Florida’s Brian Mast and New Jersey’s Tom McArthur will face similar ads, even though Donald Trump carried their districts.

More Republicans will likely be on the chopping block in 2018 as Democrats continue to weaponized the effort to repeal Obamacare, as the act continues to grow in popularity.
