I will defend that decision as the right thing to do until my dying day.


But it was the right thing to do. Not the best thing to do politically. But the right thing to do. President Obama had a 2-year window to get a lot done, and that bill took nearly all of his political capital to get done. Nearly his entire first term. And the ACA even then barely made it across the finish line.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who have been helped by that law did not vote for Hillary in 2016. "Both sides are the same" or "She's a criminal" or "She's corrupt" or "I just don't like her very much" or "Power-hungry" or "Why did she stay with Bill?" and more.

And because these people tuned out of politics, these people that Obama spent his entire tank of political capital trying to help - with the combined power of The White House, 59 Senate seats, and the House of Representatives - these non-voters are going to feel the brunt of what Republican America becomes.

Frustrating isn't a word for it. This is what being defeated looks like.
