I didn't get my health care.

Well, that's not because of Obama.

That's because of your red state governor.

And so we end up in this sort of adverse selection, moral hazard kind of situation where voters who most depended on the promises they fell for are now the most exposed and they are in the position of having to decide who to blame.

Unfortunately, a lot of them are not going to blame the right person, Donald Trump.

But enough of them, I believe, are that this will be a disaster midterm for the Republican Party.

We're going to do everything we can to make it happen.
