Tidbits And Cat Treats: People Really Care About Healthcare Edition

By Sniffles

Pretty eventful primary day in Florida yesterday. Also, the McCain Marathon continues, plus more. Here are a few of our hump-day observations.

We cats have three words for the Democrats who are squabbling on Twitter about Florida Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum: CUT. IT. OUT. Fact: Andrew Gillum was endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Fact: Andrew Gillum was a delegate for Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Democratic Convention. Fact: Andrew Gillum bridges both worlds. It's a good thing.

Sarah Palin is not invited to John McCain's funeral. Because she would misbehave? Bring her hideous family? Perhaps it's because Palin, probably the most unqualified running mate in history, is a reminder that McCain's "Country First" slogan was just an empty lie.

So letting nearly 3,000 Americans die is doing "a fantastic job"? What would letting 6,000 American die be? "Outstanding"? "Sensational"? It is simply amazing that nobody is in trouble for this. Which means we've got to have that Blue Wave this fall.

Speaking of which, while we Democrats have an abundance of campaign talking points to hammer on in the midterms, there's only one in which we should be in lockstep: With John McCain gone, and with the Governor of Arizona pledging to replace him with a fellow Trumpster, the Affordable Care Act is officially dead in the Senate. The only way we stop Republicans from ripping health coverage away is by winning back the House. (The Senate would be nice, too, of course.)

Democrats: Polls have consistently shown that Americans want to keep their Obamacare. So speak of nothing else, and you'll cruise to victory in November. That would make us cats PURR.
