ObamaCare Collapsing

Obamacare is collapsing. These headlines speak for themselves. “Covered California Notifies Subscribers of Up to 57 Percent Rate Increases.” “Nearly 400,000 Michigan Residents Brace for Double-Digit Obamacare Spike.” “More Than 1 Million to Lose Obamacare Plans as Insurers Quit.” “Gov. Dayton (D) Declares Affordable Care Act ‘No Longer Affordable.’” “Average Premiums For Popular ACA Plans Rising 25 Percent.”

Obamacare is collapsing. These headlines speak for themselves.

“Covered California Notifies Subscribers of Up to 57 Percent Rate Increases.”

“Nearly 400,000 Michigan Residents Brace for Double-Digit Obamacare Spike.”

“More Than 1 Million to Lose Obamacare Plans as Insurers Quit.”

“Gov. Dayton (D) Declares Affordable Care Act ‘No Longer Affordable.’”

“Average Premiums For Popular ACA Plans Rising 25 Percent.”

“ObamaCare Hikes Leave Dems Exposed.”

And get this: Two Democrat ex-senators (Russ Feingold in Wisconsin and Evan Bayh in Indiana) who were responsible for Obamacare being rammed down our throats in 2010 now want to come back to the Senate. Really? Their Republican opponents should make Obamacare THE issue in the remaining days of this campaign.

Let me state the obvious: Obamacare was built on a lie. The notion that the government could cover more people at a lower cost was absurd. Now the same people who lied to you are planning to use the failure of Obamacare as the battering ram to demand that the government run everything.

Are you ready for Hillarycare? If not, vote Trump/Pence!

To Serve & Protect

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) is very close to Bill and Hillary Clinton. He even helped them buy their New York home by personally guaranteeing the $1.35 million mortgage.

As I explained yesterday, Terry McAuliffe steered more than $600,000 to a Democrat state Senate candidate who just happens to be the wife of a top FBI official leading the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of national security secrets. This entire relationship stinks! Even CNN thinks so.

But not one of the big three networks devoted even a second on their evening news broadcasts [Monday] night to expose this disgusting example of how Washington insiders rigged the justice system. So millions of Americans have no idea about this example of Clinton corruption. Pollster Pat Caddell accused the biased, left-wing media of conducting a “coup d'etat” against our democracy and the principle of free and fair elections.

(By the way, yet another Clinton crony is pleading the Fifth and refusing to testify about his knowledge of her private server. If she did nothing wrong, why do these people think they did something wrong?)

The story about McAuliffe’s campaign donations to a Democrat candidate did not originate from Wikileaks. According to Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News, the source was a disgruntled FBI agent. Judge Napolitano says long-time agents feel morale at the FBI is the lowest it has been since the Watergate years.

But who cares what morale is at the leading law enforcement agency as long as the political interests of Hillary Clinton are served and protected?

Kaine Krashes

As everyone knows, Trump rallies are drawing huge crowds. Gov. Mike Pence is also drawing large crowds for a vice presidential candidate.

The wise talking heads tell us that big crowds don’t mean anything when you need roughly 65 million votes to win a national election. But do non-existent crowds tell you anything?

[Monday], about 30 people showed up to see Sen. Tim Kaine. He could do better at a Washington, D.C., bus stop.

[WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.] Did you hear the news that rapper Jay-Z will be holding a concert for Hillary Clinton in Ohio to boost voter turnout? We know how upset Hillary Clinton gets whenever someone degrades women.

Has Hillary listened to any of Jay-Z’s songs? He often refers to women as “b-tches” and “hoes.” In one song, said he wanted “a wife that [would] f-ck me like a prostitute.”

Hypocrisy, anyone?

If Hillary Clinton really cared about how women are treated in society, she would denounce “artists” like Jay-Z and Hollywood elites for their objectification of women and the garbage they keep pumping into our culture.

Keep Working!

ABC News, Investor’s Business Daily and CNN have all released polls on the presidential campaign. One says Hillary has a double-digit lead. One shows the race is tied, while the CNN poll splits the difference and has Clinton up by five points.

All claim to be credible polls, but they show completely different results because they are making different assumptions about who will turn out to vote. The ABC poll showing Hillary leading by 12 points could be right — if conservatives allow themselves to be demoralized.

But let’s assume it is wrong and that the IBD poll is also wrong. Let’s assume that the CNN poll is closer to reality.

If the Trump-Pence ticket picked up half a point a day, we would win by two points. That is more than doable, especially if every conservative voter found just one person who is wavering or planning to stay home.

And here’s some encouraging news. In his speeches, Governor Mike Pence is urging Republicans to support their party. “It’s time to come home and come together and do everything in our power to make sure that Hillary Clinton is never elected president of the United States of America,” Pence said this week. It appears some Republicans are listening.

A number of holdouts are starting to come to their senses, such as Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Matt Borges, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party.

In an email to Ohio Republicans, Borges wrote, “I will be supporting a straight Republican ticket — starting with Donald Trump for President. A Hillary Clinton presidency would be a disaster for our country.”

I agree. If we could only get John Kasich and Jeb Bush on board.

Keep working, my friends! We can win. We MUST win!
