Dick Morris tends to hyperbole but I read and listen every day.
In article, he has articulated what I was feeling.
With the impacts of AHCA (Obamacare), the public does not trust the intent of the Federal government.
Because of this deep lack of trust, people are resisting on the principle that the unknown deliverables from government programs are ALWAYS more destructive than the stated intent.
This is to me an expression of what our founding fathers proclaimed, that we must have the means to protect ourselves from governments, governments that in all formats tend toward tyrannical. In this case the means was individual citizens coming together in unions (NRA) to express a common position, to elected officials. The elected officials had no choice but to pay attention. President Obama is no longer an elected official in the common sense, as lame duck, he is personally unburdened with negative voter reaction, he said as much to Putin a couple of years ago.
On the bright side, I can see in the rejection of said legislation and slippage in the illegal alien citizenship foray, a light that should be clear to the President, your path is to the middle. From the middle as leader the President could do good work on the budget.
