In a Republican party that’s gone all out against Obamacare, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval went all in.

Good News for Obama: The Right Will Rise Again
Don’t get me wrong. What’s happened over the past five weeks has been a colossal, epic failure on President Obama’s part. All he needed to say about the health care law was that you could keep your insurance if it met minimum standards, and then he needed to repeat those standards. He also needed to… Continue reading Good News for Obama: The Right Will Rise Again
