Obamacare was passed with a huge dem senate majority. Just taking the senate back won’t be enough to repeal Ocare.
It was a straight party line vote, 60-39, so the Dems `own’ it—like they own the economy, unemployment, the huge debt, a lousy foreign policy, the trade deficit, a dozen dirty scandals and a general miserable attitude across the nation due to failure of leadership.
The `rats are going to get their heads handed to them this fall. Good.
The GOP ... gee, it will be like trying to decide who to root for in a slap-fight between Bill Maher and Bill “Ted” O’Really. Both parties have managed to wrap things so badly around the axle, with the Republicans fighting like kittens to right the ship of state. they can both go to hell.
Anyway here’s the vote, (Christmas eve, the sneaking bastards):
