Lol. Rather than building a wall, me thinks Trump needs to tear down his wall of empty promises first.

Trump's words and actions seem to have motivated suburban voters to turn out and vote Democratic.

Donald Trump Drove Record 2018 Midterm Election Turnout | Time

This makes sense, and there doesn't seem to be much alternative reason. President Obama was somewhat of a turnout guru, having doubled turnout in Iowa in 2008, which was his launch-pad. Obama also once noted the Democrats generally did not normally turn out for mid-terms. Not this time!



Any opinions on why?
2 reasons

1. Dislike of Trump

2. Ryan's repeated statements about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The 2018 midterms imply the overwhelming majority want an opportunity to buy quality healthcare without worry of being denied for preexisting conditions.

Obamacare enjoys majority support today.

The lies and FUD from your side about this law was so thick that we really did have to pass it to find out what was in it.

Your post is merely proof of the media's complicity in spreading the myth that Republican plan would not cover pre-existing conditions.
