Things were much more interesting when he was the head of the RNC.

his job was to make Obama a one term President by attracting black voters to the GOP. He failed in that and Obama won a second term and he was fired.

My question is, why did Kornacki just let Steele consume most of the time? He had four guests on and let Steele take three-fourths of the time.

The same with Melissa-Harris Perry. She had a guy on who was against the minimum wage and he wouldn't shut up, talking over everyone else. Finally, the lady from Demos told him to let her talk.

These two and others on MSNBC need to control these conservatives who are invited on their shows. Don't they know by now that this what their technique is, over talk and take most of the time?

repeal strategy. I know I listened pretty intently...so did Krystal Ball...

that they were going to get rid of Social Security to.

It's pretty damn obvious. Like Bush trying to privatize SS, it will blow up in their faces if they ever try it.

repeal the individual aspects that are costly for the insurance companies (coverage for pre-existing conditions, no lifetime caps, etc) and keep the mandate in place.

Win-win for the insurance industry - they keep getting the premiums but don't have to pay out as much.

Never forget that the main goal of the GOP is to cipher as much of our money into corporate America as possible.

that would be what the GOP has to do now in order to successfully repeal O-care (albeit once Obama leaves office). But judging from numerous polls, the Presidency is becoming a long-shot for his side in 2016. Their only hope is for less people to vote for D's; they can ramp up voter suppression efforts in D-leaning areas, or do something to stoke more cynicism in Americans about "big government" and both parties so that more people (mainly progressives) will either stay home or vote 3rd party.

Republicans think that they can and will repeal the ACA, but that millions who are benefitting from it will actually vote for those people.

If only every single person getting health care coverage for the first time, or getting less expensive and better coverage would vote for a Democrat at every juncture, it would be safe.

If only the Dems this year and in two years run constant ads pointing out that the R's want to take away health care, and show just what that means, they'd win big time. Just like every person who thinks the government doesn't belong in a woman's vagina or uterus should only vote for Dems who think the same way.

What is wrong with people anyway?

cognitive dissonance in the extreme...
