Maybe a little snag in attracting all of those Republican Voters to Clinton?

It has been hinted at for months that Clinton would draw Republican voters.

Survey: Obamacare Disapproval Surges

The latest Pew survey shows views of the Affordable Care Act are still more negative than positive.

Perception of the law was deeply divided along party lines. The survey found that 78 percent of Democrats approve, compared with only 9 percent of Republicans. Republican approval of the law had risen from 11 percent in February last year to 18 percent last July.

As rates have continued to rise, reality has begun to set in. Some younger, healthier people have begun to opt out of the program and pay the penalties for not being covered. And as the premiums go up, it will spread to older people as well. And if (when) the subsidies disappear, we'll see a mass exodus. And it won't be limited to Republicans.

It should have been called "Obamasurance" because it really never was about health care, it was a big sloppy kiss for the insurance industry.
