if he supports the Medicare expansion? He has summed up the GOPT - that's all they care about is the man in the WH and unless he also wants to be called a racist along with those bastids - he needs to shout out about how wrong it is to want to defund Obamacares and how right it is to want the best for America. Of course, he will no longer be welcome as a republican.
