Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.
