    The GOP is the most uneducated and ignorant base ever.

    They know the difference, they just don't think a legal version should exist.

    It is also telling that they aren't putting forth a law or resolution saying that immigrants would be ineligible. If that was really the reason they can't agree, why not put your money where your mouth is? That's right, it isn't really about that at all. They do not want the health benefits extended for anyone.

    The ACA subsidies lapse this fall, right? Let it be felt. Republicans promise to fix it if the government opens it. Ok, open it up and let's have the Republicans answer to the voters when they fail.

    The rates are going up anyway, they will feel the pain, then the DEMS can say....we are fighting for them to go down, it makes the Dems case even stronger.

    It won't stop Trump flying to his country clubs and his golf resorts though. Shutdowns for thee, as I fly around for free, with secret service following me around on golf carts as I put the ball on the tee.

    All because Democrats chose to shutdown government to try to give free health care to illegals -- SAD.

    Providing free healthcare to illegals is something the Democrats have been working on for years. This is just their latest attempt. Yet you act like they'd never attempt it? Unreal.

    Every single Democrat candidate on that stage raised their hand saying that their government plan would provide free healthcare for illegals. And the crowd cheered wildly. Several million illegals are on public assistance -- like Medicaid. 500,000 in NY state alone.

    It's time to face facts, amigo.


    GOOD DAY

    They would, because we'd have Universal Healthcare like everyone else does.
