re: #24 HappyWarrior

I wouldn’t say they have a mandate at all. The president was re-elected and they got few votes for the Senate and House then they did in the last election.

Correct, but by mandate I meant that the majority of voters who voted GOP did so on the expectation that the party would do whatever it could to stop Obamacare. It’s not a “clean” mandate (there’s that word again), but to the RWNJs it’s a mandate of sorts.
