survival or not in a district like this? i looked at last night, garrett s right, it s as if this district created more democrats than we thought existed in that district. but it really is this john kasich wing of the party, the suburban republican voter, who we ve been watching since november of 16, andrea, start to make its way to the blue side of the ballot box, right? it started in georgia 6th, not quite enough to flip it. you saw what happened in the northern virginia suburbs which made it look like it was new york city, not northern virginia, in the virginia governor s race. now here we are, here. last night, missouri 2 is the suburbs of st. louis. i was looking at the election results. basically a carbon copy of this district in ohio, okay? turnout among democrats, there were more democratic votes in that congressional primary than republican votes, and yes, there was a contested race, but that
other side of obamacare is absolutely failing and quite frankly, i mean, i think the democratic party is really the existential moment right now. we see how they weren t able to get it done in georgia 6th. they done have any ideas, no solutions. michael moore was right, at least the republicans are coming up with some ideas and bringing it to the table. jason, i mean, jason kander said this has nothing to do with what does it have to do with the health care bill, republican versus democrat? most people want politics taken out of this. they don t care if it s called the obamacare or trumpcare or the affordable care act or the, what was the new one called? the health better care? whatever that is called. no one really cares what it s called. they just want it fixed. sloabsolutely. that s what the republicans are trying to do. not about democrats and republicans when 17% of the country thinks it s a good idea. okay. thauchings y thank you, all. when when come back, p
that s what they re doing right now. go ahead, jason kander. you can t do the right thing and keep your campaign promise at the same time. that s what they re facing here. look, at the end of the day what they re really saying is, they re saying there are some problems with obamacare. well, a lot of those problems right now are because the president of the united states is actively working to undermine and kill it. he keeps saying it s dead. he s trying to kill it. let s say for a moment that you accept everything jason miller just said. i don t. let s say you agree with everything he just said about obamacare. there is no way in the world that the solution to that is to rip health care away from 23 million people. that just doesn t make any sense at all even if you bought everything that he said. jason, i ll give you the last word. look, the i meant the other jason. other side of obamacare is absolutely failing and quite frankly, i mean, i think the democratic party is
in it and exactly what the cbo says about it. the president is tweeting about this, this morning, tweeting, democrats would do much better as a party if they got together with republicans on health care, tax cuts, security, obstruction doesn t work. this the back story here also, of course, is the fact that they re bragging on their victory in the georgia 6th and is that a bellwether of what will happen in 2018? i m not going to spin the georgia 6th for you. we should be disappointed. a loss is a loss. there are no moral victories. horseshoes and hand grenades. we should be disappointed in that result. the other way to look at this is, look, candidates matter. you had a very young candidate, a charismatic one, but he didn t have the longest resume, he didn t live in the district, so that was a challenge. and i can say that, look, i admire jon ossoff. i ran at 34 years old with maybe not a strong enough resume to be in the united states house of representatives. and i didn t wi
identifiable leader as a port for republicans to uses a foil and knows donald trump does well when he can beat up on one opponent. talking about health care, jon ossoff has been focusing on it in the race, karen handel on the other hand told breitbart it hasn t been that much of an issue. the biggest issue is that jon ossoff is from outside the district. the president himself has been tweeting about that very same thing. but give us some reality. how much does health care matter in georgia 6 right now? it s a big reason why democrats are fired up. beth in terms of pre-existing condition, lifetime caps. you know, democrats around the country are really animated because they feel under threat. and at the same time, you re seeing health care come up very little in the race. democrats have tried to attack karen handel s stewardship of the susan komen foundation as it relates to her position on
