Claire McCaskill: You Will Lose Voters With Free Healthcare For Undocumented Immigrants | MSNBCc

    1. McCaskill lost her 2018 reelection in a midterm that Democrats won in a landslide Blue Wave victory, picking up over 500 seats held by republicans nationally. McCaskill is to election strategy as Draft Dodging Donald is to military service.

  1. So, she would rather deny healthcare to Americans because there’s a chance an undocumented immigrant might benefit also? No wonder she lost her senate seat.

    1. She lost her seat because she was pro-banker in a state that voted to raise the minimum wage. She talks about “kitchen table issues” and then does the opposite of what voters want.

  2. Such an idea would be acceptable IF ALL Americans get free health care. Such a program would create powerful resentment against these migrants.
    I am not a fan of ICE, but this is just a very bad idea, in the opposite direction of Trump’s hideous ideas.

  3. Yeah, because we should just continue footing the emergency room bills for them. I’m sure that will be cheaper.

  4. So she thinks that mid westerners wouldn’t like undocumented immigrants getting healthcare because they themselves also get healthcare but work hard? That doesn’t make any sense. Just because I work hard doesn’t mean other people shouldn’t have healthcare. That’s like: “My house didn’t burn down because the fire department came, so why do you need the fire department for yours?”

    1. My friend is from rural South Dakota. This how they think. And you can’t get medicare if you aren’t a citizen or a permanent resident.

  5. if there’s anything claire knows about, it’s losing… so do whatever the opposite she suggests, i hope she’s relishing her fat nbc paycheck these days.

  6. Every human being deserves health care even animals and pets and they deserve it who wants sick people around our streets and kids

  7. Claire McCaskill already lost for being corporate hack. The GOP already has that covered. We need true progressives willing to fight for working people.

  8. A democratic senator who lost her seat in the time of Trump , is providing analysis on how to win an election!? You lost because of this do nothing attitude.

  9. i love how the one who got wiped out in a dem wave election year is lecturing on winning strategies
