Republican candidates have begun to retreat in recent weeks from their all-out assault on the Affordable Care Act in favor of a more piecemeal approach, suggesting they would preserve some aspects of the law while jettisoning others.

The changing tactics signal that the health-care law — while still unpopular with voters overall — may no longer be the lone rallying cry for Republicans seeking to defeat Democrats in this year’s midterm elections.

How is that going to help the GOP right there? They should run on the platform of repealing Obamacare.

I wouldn't worry too much.  Quoting a handful of RINOs from liberal states and candidates looking to make obamacare actually "affordable" by replacing all of the bullshit with being able to buy insurance across state lines is not quite the wishful thinking the WAPO is engaging in.

Remember, according to assholes like this WAPO "journalist", Mitch McConnell winning his primary meant the TEA Party is dead and gone.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I never thought the TEA Party is dead. It is still alive and well. WAPO is full of elitists like most newspapers and journalists.
