They won’t support repeal. In response to each crisis, they will first look for Obama to extend the crisis to later by executive order. Then, if that fails, they will vote to ban the crisis—for example, a law requiring that old insurance plans be reinstated.

The problem with their approach is twofold: (1) The crises will unfold one after another. The people most affected by the crises (cancellations and greatly increased premiums and deductibles) will be employed or self-employed middle class Americans and young, healthy Americans, and over 65 Amerians. A ten point swing in those votes will bring the democrats down. A twenty percent swing is veto proof majorities. These groups are too big even if the dems share of the ethnic vote goes from 95% to 98%. (2) Fiscal meltdown. Every one of the coming crises was a necessary element in Obamacare. For example, making employed middle class people pay a lot more for insurance is necessary to pay for the subsidies for poorer people and Medicaid, which is free and hugely expanded. The “crisis” groups are the ones paying free health care for everyone at 138% of the poverty level or less and subsidized health care for people who make a little more than that. So when the dems vote to “solve” one of the crises, they are voting for the taxpayers to make up the price of the solution or to run higher deficits. Guess what happens.

That's exactly WHY "Comprehensive" Immigration Reform must be completed in time for the 2014 election. They need MORE Dem voting minorities to carry them through.

That is key to knowing which of our "conservative" and otherwise Republicans aren't Republican at all. Those who vote for CIR are the supreme political class where it's really only one party with Kabuki to keep the voters entertained and fooled.
