Prepare yourself, your probably going to lose a Senator from Minnesota.
I don't know what "politically speaking" means. In their content, Obamacare and Romneycare were virtually the same. That's the point. The Republicans opposed it for purely political reasons. They do well by opposing Democratic presidents no matter what. The Democrats need to adopt the same policy, it appears. I don't think they'll go that far off the deep end like the GOP does. But I hope they will respond to their base and oppose Trump's bad policies more often.
But the laws were the same. The Democrats passed a Republican bill, and the Republicans all opposed it just because it was proposed by Democrats.
