House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday said that Republicans have put themselves in a lose-lose situation by rushing to vote on the latest iteration of their bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
Theyll lose if they dont bring it up and it doesnt win, Pelosi said during her weekly press conference. They really lose if they pass it. She said Republicans are deluding themselves into thinking that they can hide the truth, or hide from their constituents, when they take their votes.
Republicans are in a lose-lose situation, Pelosi said. So we welcome them to this great civics class. She said the furor over Republicans appeal attempt is almost, I would say, a welcome debate.
Republicans are maliciously, again, attempting to destroy health care and coverage for the American people, Pelosi said. I would hope that they realize that this is really bad for the country, but I do say that it is good in one respect.

of healthcare.

I have been writing him nearly every day about the disaster that is America right now. I told him he had best remember if he votes to get rid of the ACA, he will lose when some one runs against him.

And Pelosi is correct, so long as Perez and the DNC get off their asses and go on the road with "ACA Repeal for Dummies". The impact on health coverage needs to be explained to the public in very clear, simple, plain sentences.
