Obamacare has been a boon for Republicans. It’s been the
ultimate Christmas present, beyond Republicans’ fondest wishes.
President Obama’s signature program may not be bringing
affordable health insurance to the middle class but it has cured what
was ailing the Republican Party.
Two months ago, following the government shutdown and
Republican histrionics, Democrats led Republicans 50-42 in the generic
congressional ballot.
Today, according to CNN/ORC, the Republicans have a 49-44
advantage over Democrats.
Obviously, these polls only show a trend, but the change is
radical.
Now, Republicans need to find a way not to self-destruct with primary races. They need to nominate candidates that the electorate can take
seriously and to formulate a positive agenda, something like the Contract with America.
Is that too much to ask?
It isn't too much to ask, but unfortunately, it may be too much to hope for. I'd really like to be wrong on that.
