Panic has set in among the Democratic Party. It goes without saying that passage of Obamacare was not supposed to put the party in this position. The bill was flawed to say the least, but the American people were supposed to embrace the new entitlement so thoroughly that Democrats could campaign on its preservation for a generation much as they did during their 40-year control of the House of Representatives. Now, the party is in disarray over hardcore liberals who want to preserve Obama’s signature achievement at all costs and those who want to keep their house and senate seats and powerful committee chairmanships. It is interesting that amid all of the confusion Democrats still give no importance to the will of the American people. The will of the people was ignored during passage of Obamacare. Even now, it is only feared because of how it will thwart their ability to enact their agenda. The party is currently experiencing infighting over what type of support to offer publicly to Obamacare if at all. Some want to campaign against it. Others want to campaign on a platform of reform. However, the bell weather election loss in the open Florida House seat has the party fearful that even a platform of Obamacare reform is a losing strategy.
