In this March 28, 2017, photo, Mary Broecker, 76, speaks during an interview in LaGrange, Ky., at a coffee shop on Main Street, where trains run right through the middle of town. She is president of The Oldham County Republican Women’s Club, and has unbending support for Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who famously changed his vote against the AHCA from “No” to “Hell No.” Defying President Donald Trump on the Republican Party’s promise to repeal and replace Obamacare sounds like political suicide, especially in the congressional districts Trump won handily. But some Republicans who blocked the legislation won praise from constituents for stopping what many saw as a flawed plan, either in the legislation’s substance or strategy. (AP Photo/Dylan T. Lovan)
