RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

STEPHANOPOULOS: "As that all happens, ObamaCare does unravel every day."
VANDEN HEUVEL: "It’s been undermined. Sabotaged. I think that what’s important for Democrats in 2018 is to ensure that the Republicans own TrumpCare. As you said, it’s the pottery barn rule. You broke it, you own it. And I think that is a compelling message. Because, Democrats and Progressives can no longer just be about resistance. It has to be resistance, renewal, reconstruction. I would argue moral ideas of the best time to tell Americans that we’re on their side. All of this disruption is not transformation. It’s not making America greater. It’s making America sicker, poorer, dirtier. It’s not — providing economic security for those we need to speak to in those states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Ohio and erode the coalition which trump is diminishing."
