Fox's Eric Bolling on Friday said the best thing that could have happened for Republicans was the decision to pull their ObamaCare repeal bill from a scheduled vote.

Bolling, who was reportedly in talks to with the Trump transition team to join the administration as an economic adviser last November, said on “The Five” that the Republican healthcare bill would have been a catastrophe in the 2018 midterm elections.

“The best thing that happened to Republicans is this thing failed,” he said.

“Can you imagine running on this thing being the bill and your premiums are exploding in middle to lower incomes and your congressman in Kansas saying ‘reelect me?’ Good Lord!”

A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found that 56 percent of voters disapproved of the Republican healthcare plan, while just 17 percent supported it.

Only 41 percent of Republicans supported it.
