I respectfully disagree. Voters wanted them to keep fighting. The ACA is dead in the water now, especially hard for those who will be losing MaineCare at the end of next year. I appreciate the attempt to put a positive spin on it, but it just emboldens the Republicans to demand even more.

Somebody with hacker skills needs to identify every one of them. Although I'm sure some of these cretins would do it for free, they are getting paid by somebody. "I was just following orders" won't cut it when the grownups get back in charge. There will be consequences. There will be accountability.
