As soon as the deciding House vote was cast in favor of repealing Obamacare on Thursday, Democrats on the floor began chanting the chorus to “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye”—a late-’60s rock tune that has long been used as a sports taunt—at Republicans, implying that the House members who voted for the repeal-and-replacement bill are endangering their prospects at re-election come midterms in 2018. Republicans have similarly chanted the tune at Democrats on the House floor in the past.
