Missouri
Senator Claire McCaskill blasted
Republicans on Sunday morning, alleging that their opposition to
Obamacare was a “tantrum.”
“I don’t think in America we
should throw tantrums when we lose elections and threaten to shut down the
government and refuse to pay the bills,” the Missouri Democrat said on “Fox
News Sunday.” “The American people had a choice last November. They had a
choice between someone who said repeal Obamacare, and President Obama.”
She has a
point. Elections have consequences and over three million registered
Republicans stayed home. However, she does miss that Obamacare has never polled
above horribly, and her remark on tantrums is a bit much…... Considering that Missouri’s two legislative repudiations of Obamacare passed by over 60% across the state (the first over 70%, a 3-1 margin in every county in the state save KC and STL) I’m more interested in seeing if the Senator will actually represent her constituents, who oppose Obamacare, in the defund Obamacare fight.....To Read More….
Update: She no longer has to worry about being able to represent her constituents. They dumped her in 2018 for ultra conservative Trump supporter, Josh Hawley.
