The observation that people want change after eight years is pretty accurate.

George W. Bush's election was an exception. But after having an approval rating of 90 percent after Desert Storm, his rating melted away shockingly quickly. People wanted change and wanted it NOW. He was crushed in his re-election bid.

I thought they can't get rid of the pre-existing condition part anyway unless they get 60 senate votes.

Sounds like they are going to have a hard time with defectors if they try to pass a comprehensive reform.

I know they can get rid of parts of it with 51 votes, but I thought pre-existing condition was definitely 60 votes.

it appears now he wants to keep it but i thought they could use reconciliation to do it, i don't know. this article scared the crap out of me with what they want to do. prices are going to soar while lots of people lose coverage. what a combo!

Wow...I know Hillary still lost Georgia but I didn't realize until now that she won Cobb County outside Atlanta. My brother-in-law is from there and I have been there numerous times. It has always been super conservative, and was Newt Gingrich's district. Must be some Atlanta Dems moving out there, similar to the Philly suburbs, which have become more Democratic.

Of course, the implication here is that elite Dems like Schumer don't really care about "blue-collar" people of any race. Because they don't

So dumb

Don't they realize Biden's main purpose was to appeal to blue collar whites? Plus he's awesome.
