comfortable, but uncomfortable including doing a fox town hall and that s what i m doing. i don t want to kick hundred 49 million americans off their current insurance and i don t wo trash obamacare. what i want to do was build on obamacare that means making the premiums more affordable and having more competition with the public option and also allowing for less expensive drugs to come in from other countries. in minnesota we can see that from our porch and i want to bring in less expensive safe drugs to compete with the ones we have now. shannon: john delaney said a lot of similar positions. he did make the stage tonight. he has been running longer than anyone and i talked to him and his wife, they think the more moderate and centrist to try to be as you bed with many of your policies the harder it is to get people on board. people are responding to the extremes of the base, one way or the other. what is the uphill battle for you like and trying to be a more
of the legislative plan but he did trash obamacare. we are going to repeal and replace horrible, disastrous obamacare. if we leave it in place, millions of people will be forced off their plan. it is a catastrophic situation. a lot of news ares the bob, i will start with you on the travel ban. president trump is looking like the candidate trump you follow. did he need a campaign rally on that issue tonight? it comes back to beating hard of the administration, which is immigration going after illegal immigration and the president from what i am told from my
exchange. should kynect be dismantled? i think that s unconnected to my comments about the overall question here. unconnected? mcconnell s claim that kynect and obamacare are unrelated is really absurd. without obamacare, the state exchange would not even exist. he gets federal funding and subjects to the guidelines of federal health care act. it s fair to say mcconnell is lying when he says kynect and obamacare are not related. after those comments, we got another lie. this time from a campaign spokesperson who said, quote, if obamacare is repealed, kentucky should decide for itself whether to keep kynect or set up a different market place. wow. that s quite the change of heart from the number one opponent of the affordable care act. mcconnell is now playing both sides of obamacare. hays no dummy. mcconnell knows residents of his home state like their new health insurance. if he runs on the full-blown
to understand they can use certain words and tell the truth and call out the lies and make sure that people are getting the messaging. and they can do it throw their advertising. i saw an ad that was done by a candidate in minnesota that was very, very clever. it was showing health insurance executives dancing on boardroom tables, just anticipating that the affordable care act would be repealed. you can do it with some humor and do it very succinctly and people will get the message. and take a page from the tea party book of strategy and figure out how to get more effective with the grassroots as well. wendell potter, dr. cory hebert, thank you so much for your time tonight. thank you. remember to answer tonight s question there at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on twitter @edshow and on facebook. we want to know what you think. coming up, the rapid response panel joins me to discuss the life and legacy of my dear friend, dr. maya angelou. but first, a peace
unfortunately, we have opponents who embrace the bad, who want it to be bad, in every possible way, and won t allow us to even fix those things that could be made better. well, you know, congresswoman, do you think obamacare will be a tough subject for all republicans in the midterms, given what you just said? because there s a sharp contrast between what obamacare has been sold as, and what local people see it as, that is, something to help them, especially fix a health care system that was in tatters. i think it s really a danger for them to continue with this campaign against obamacare. because more and more people are realizing its benefits every day. you know, it s open enrollment all year long for people that for people to enroll in medicaid. and as you ve seen in kentucky, hundreds of thousands of people, and there could even be millions more, if the states would embrace obamacare and let lower income people join it.
