The Congressman’s Dilemma

If you’re a GOP House member, and you vote for ACHA, you are accepting the abhorrent principle of a health care entitlement program while depriving thousands of constituents, many of whom voted for you, of their insurance. Expect to see their faces in TV commercials for the next two years. If you vote against ACHA, on the other hand, you are damaging the credibility of your party leader, violating a very public campaign promise, and facing the possibility of a primary and some really nasty Trump tweets.

Yeah, it sure sucks to be you today.  Poor baby.
