Ty97, I think you'll start to see more moderate GOP primary challengers vs some of these guys

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Mar 30 '17, 07:25

in the context of "They have all the power, and instead of finding *anything* to improve Obamacare, they did nothing while it deteriorates."

You may see some harder-right wing people take some shots in the context of "utter failure to repeal", but I think the more moderate groups have a better shot at this.

Responses:

Eh. Unless they get Trump's backing they're dead in the water. And if they do, it'll be out of spite, not any rational appeal to moderate sensibility. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 07:30 6
- He's at 35% -- having his backing isn't a good thing either. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:37 4
  - But what is he at in those districts? That's the important part. -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:38 3
    - More importantly, where is he with the republican base likely to turn out for a primary in those districts -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 08:25
    - In Georgia-06 (since that's voting soon), he was at 51-41 in early March. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:51 1
      - He only won the district by 1-2 points in November IIRC -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 07:59
- You shouldn't assume it'll be him, not Pence. -- nm - mud Mar 30, 07:34
I agree we'll see the challengers, I'm just not sure if they will gain traction? -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 07:26 1
- Depends on if the industries open the pursestrings. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 07:26
