Obamacare is more popular than ever. Once it was implemented, people began to see the benefits of it such as protection for people with pre-existing conditions.
Now, Trump is lying and saying he will protect people with pre-existing conditions while his Justice Department is supporting an effort to end them.
This stuck me as a noteworthy (new, I think) claim tonight. https://t.co/jSWXWFE64c

In addition, Republican candidates are reducing criticism of it:
Fascinating reflection of how quickly the politics of Obamacare have changed. https://t.co/cSqzlhTXCE

I’d go further. I think the experience of Obamacare has pushed Democrats—or at least many of their voters—left on a whole host of issues. The hunger for big, bold, public solutions is informed by a recognition that Republicans will demagogue everything as a “government takeover.” https://t.co/WJk53DGnyL

Trump lies again about pre-existing conditions in his Missouri rally.
Trump: "I will always protect pre-existing conditions. And Josh Hawley will always protect pre-existing conditions.”
Trump's admin is arguing in court that the ACA's pre-existing protections should be voided. Hawley signed onto this same lawsuit seeking to strike down the ACA.

On Obamacare:
Cruz: "I hear from Texans all over the state: I can't afford health insurance." But "every one of us agrees that pre-existing conditions need to be protected."

If you’re concerned about health care, you’ve got to get out the vote this November.
We must reduce the number of uninsured, enact meaningful controls on prescription drug costs, and ensure all with pre-existing conditions can obtain affordable coverage.https://t.co/PDS2ZaBSfY

Trump just attacked Heller's opponent, @RepJackyRosen, says she voted for "the disaster that we now know as Obamacare."
Only, she didn't. Because Rosen was not elected to Congress until 6 years after the ACA passed the House.

Trump lies about pre-existing conditions 10/1/18
Trump on pre-existing conditions: "A lot of people think it's not a very Republican thing. It is now. And it has been for me." As part of a GOP lawsuit trying to get the entire ACA blocked, Trump's administration is arguing that its pre-existing protections should be voided.
