Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer told Megyn Kelly Wednesday on "The Kelly File" that if ObamaCare self-destructs, it could set back American liberalism for at least a decade.
Krauthammer said that if the problems plaguing the health care law eventually lead to its end, Obama's lame-duck status would not be the liberals' only problem.
"I would say that what's really at stake here, is that if this thing really goes south, if ObamaCare truly self-destructs, I don't know that it's certain but I would say right now it is more than likely, it would really set back American liberalism for a decade at least," he said.

"That's why I think the liberals are running scared," he said. "It's not just one election, it's the whole ideology that the government knows best..."
