it will occur tomorrow might. some of the 7 candidates who did not make the cut are seeking to make an argument that the candidates forum they will also have here in cleveland tomorrow separate for the big event will be absent of donald trump prove to be the more serious substantive exercise. the ten candidates who will appear in prime time at the quicken loans arena were chosen by the fox news decision desk which calls the state by state results on election night. that was on the basis of average of 5 different major national polls including fox news own latest survey yesterday. the big challenge will be differentiating themselves with each other. shoot afrom the hip style alreay differentiates him. bob knee ginned ejindal of loui will appear in a separate candidate s forum also here at
it s going to happen, it has to. then people got scared and they ran ads kind of, you know, flipping people out about what it was going to mean. this happens a lot, and the same thing is happening now, and i think you see people kind of calming down, you know, the sidewalk didn t open up and swallow everybody up. it does seem to be moving along better. a lot of states are having tremendous success with it. kentucky being one of them. of course, the states that ran their own exchanges and really embraced the medicaid expansion, those states are the ones that are doing better, but, you know, i think at this point people have accepted the law, more people have been covered. people like the fact they can keep their kids on until they are 26 years old. they don t want to give that up. governor, is the politics of this beginning to change going forward as we see new governors coming in? and in your opinion is the politics changing? sure. and i think incumbent republican governors who are
it s 52% in kentucky and 52% in louisiana. and republicans who can t stop talking about repeal, they are not doing too well. take louisiana governor bobby jindal. here s what he said about the law. every governor s got two critical decisions to make. in louisiana we re not doing either one of those things. i don t think it makes sense to do those. we don t need the government running our health care. full repeal and full replace are the better way to go. the new york times finds governor jindal has got a negative 14% job approval. i wonder if blocking health care to people was a factor. he s refused the medicaid expansion in louisiana, denying 242,000 people insurance. senator mary landrieu s even calling it the jindal gap. and a local paper says taking
but on the question you asked, rev, there s no question about that. look at two other southern states where the governors, both democrats, governor bebee in arkansas and governor bashir in kentucky, where they took the medicaid expansion and set up their own exchanges. they are popular. they are both 20 points up in positive versus negative as opposed to governor jindal being 14 points down. so i think the republicans are in deep trouble. in kentucky in kentucky, think about kentucky. for 113,000 people signed up by the aca, of which 75% were previously uninsured and more than 50% were under 35. the law has worked beautifully in kentucky. mitch mcconnell is calling for its repeal. he s in trouble. you know, susan, check out these numbers, and this is what the governor s referring to. check out these numbers from the new york times. most voters approve of arkansas
the money would be a financial and moral no-brainer. the governor needs to face facts, the american people are sick and tired of republicans constantly talking about repeal. it s time for them to knock off this pointless fight or, as fonzy would say, sit on it. joining me now, former governor ed rendell and susan milligan. thank you both for being here. thanks for having me. governor bobby jindal s approval is sinking, and so is the support for repeal, so has the gop jumped the shark on repealing health care? yeah, there s no question about it. and they get mixed up all the time. by the way, you can remind rand paul that the biggest period of economic growth in this country in the last 60 years was under bill clinton, who raised taxes, didn t cut taxes, he raised taxes and we created 25 million jobs in the next seven years.
