An outgoing Republican lawmaker on Sunday blamed former Sen. John McCain for the GOP's loss of the House majority in last week's elections, writing in The Wall Street Journal that it was McCain's decisive vote against legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare that led to a wave of Democratic midterm victories.
Jason Lewis, a Minnesota congressman who was unseated last Tuesday by Democrat Angie Craig, claimed in his op-ed that McCain’s thumbs-down vote against a so-called skinny repeal of the Affordable Care Act “prompted a ‘green wave’ of liberal special-interest money” that he said allowed Democrats to hammer Republicans on the issue of pre-existing conditions.

Talk about a sore loser. This guy seems to be hallucinating to come up with crap like this lame excuse.

Shall we run through the whole set:
Barack Obama did it
Micehelle Obama did it
Hilary Clinton did it
Bill Clinton did it
John McCain did it
ISIS did it
Immigrants did it
The entire city of Chicago did it
The Minnesota Twins did it
Farrakan did it
Face it GOP...the voters did it with a big assist from Donald. Get used to it.
This was the number one issue with most voters. As much as I think immigration is a bigger issue, Lewis is probably right about this. Republicans were voted in to deal with healthcare, and they didn't do much.

Do you realize how little a problem immigration is to the country as a whole?
We have much larger problems and providing health care to our citizens is one of them. This election should have pointed that out to the GOP and Trump. When Trump came into office he promised to end the ACA and replace it with something better and cheaper, he and the GOP did not so so. Instead they went out to the states to try and end the ACA and especially the mandate and pre-existing conditions through the courts since they failed in congress. The failure of the GOP to see what was right in front of them until too late cost them the House. Only GOPers still think that immigration and the caravan are that important.
Lewis wrote in his op-ed that the failed Senate vote allowed Democrats to campaign against Republicans with the claim that the GOP wanted to remove protections for those with pre-existing conditions, a keystone of many Democratic campaigns leading up to the midterms.
The freshman congressman argued that the House bill would have “[alleviated] the pre-existing condition problem,” rather than getting rid of the protections altogether as he accused Democrats of falsely claiming. PolitFact has rated claims that the House bill wouldn’t eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions as “mostly false.”
You mean the voters that we've been importing over the past decades?

That's a nice talking point, but it's utterly unsubstantiated and is totally contrary to what voters think. Immigration is among the top 3 issues to all voters and the top issue for Republicans.
GOPers tend to vote for Republicans. The Republicans kind of are beholden to their voters, as they should be.
