If Christie or Perry had been the only one to be relieved that millions of people get to keep their insurance, ya know, the same millions of people who have votes they need in the primaries and the general election, they could have shot up into the Top Tier.
But I guess neither of them are really in it to win it...
Would any of those millions have supported them for it, though?
Assuming that's a serious question, yes. The idea that people getting Obamacare subsidies are a bunch of minorities/Democrats/non-voting moochers is a fantasy invented by Fox News to whip up their gullible audience.
At the very least, voters are not going to vote for someone campaigning on taking their health insurance away from them, even if they won't automatically vote for Republicans who promise to keep it intact.
