"Hey, we tried to repeal Obamacare. Just like you and Trump wanted. Democrats, and a few rogue Republicans, stopped us. We voted to repeal it.
Blame the Democrats for voting to keep your health insurance, your premium subsidies, your Medicaid, your coverage for pre-existing conditions, keeping your rural hospitals open, and all that other onerous stuff in Obamacare.
Don't blame us. Vote for us for trying to protect you from all that."
