Republicans may have bet too heavily on the wrong issue going into the midterm elections.
When the health care law’s website wasn’t working, the law itself was at its most unpopular and its most newsworthy, and the president’s poll numbers were cratering, many Republicans made the calculation that they could ride the wave of woe to an overwhelming electoral victory in November.
But betting on stasis is stupid. Things change. CONT.
