Will Obamacare become Hillarycare?

Some may remember that the general concept of taking the Massachusetts model national was an idea in Hillary's 2008 campaign, not Obama's. Indeed I recall Obama criticizing the mandate during a debate. Of course Obama eventually adopted the idea, either during the general election or after being elected, I don't remember which.

Which brings me to the question - why hasn't the GOP tried to rebrand it as Hillarycare?

If they still believe it's something worth running against, which I assume they do, then why not tag Hillary with it?

It doesn't really matter that they've tagged Obama with it for 5 years. Think about Benghazi. They tagged Obama with that pretty much exclusively until, oh, November of 2012 after which they instantly pivoted to Clinton, never looking back or even acknowledging the change.

So why not with Obama care? Or will it come later?


What are your thoughts? Not on Obamacare or on the GOP or on Hillary, but on this particular point?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

No need...

The only Hilliarycare will be her medical care as a federal inmate. :whome:
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

ObamaCare is too well established a brand to rebrand. The GOP would just look (even more) stupid if they try that.

It also seems more straight forward to tie the death of a diplomat to Sec. State than to do so with a domestic policy idea. :shrug:

For those old enough to remember, wouldn't "HillaryCare" just conjure up the memory of HRC's last attempt at healthcare reform as First Lady?
