Instead they voted 50 times to repeal Obamacare knowing that the bill would die in the Senate. Now if the GOP takes the Senate then the House will neither vote to repeal or defund because they know that they would have to come up with an alternative.

Even better to get some dem votes would be to vote to make it optional. Best way to get rid of it...starve the beast.

They could put a lot of people on the record with real votes where funding is involved but that would require the squishes of the party to show their true colors, not happening...
