RE :”Myself, I don’t think the Republicans should come anywhere near even touching 0care. They can “spiritually” support Landrieu or Upton, but if they join up with the effort, they will be portrayed as recalcitrant saboteurs.”

A little late for that, they voted repeal ~ 50 times

Perfect time for GOP to offer and vote for bills that undermine that law under the guise of reform, like bills that remove mandates. (remove them for all policies outside of exchanges)

But make them all popular sounding “The healthcare personal freedom amendment”, “The you choose your doctor” amendment.

Fight like Dems do!

You’re ignoring an effect that is very, very real, in my experience:

If you are carpenter #2 and are called in by a client to fix another carpenter’s screw-up...and you do not execute *perfectly*....you will be branded with *all* of the screwups of carp #1 AND whatever you managed to either screw up or not be able to do. And/or, if you are a carpenter, same scenario, and large amounts of materials have been destroyed or rendered unusable by the actions of carp #1, you will have to not only spend time undoing the errors of carp #1 (which is time charged that does not go to the completion of the task) *and* being responsible for the excess costs of replacing the rendered-unusable materials.

It is virtually an unwinnable situation and many times you will see professionals turn down such work.

The Dems cannot see the future, that’s why they passed this POS. The Republicans cannot see the future but they additionally cannot and will not listen to anyone but their consultant class, who are parasites (like Rove) who have no particular insight *except* their insight into how panicked the Repubs can and will get should they perceive themselves vulnerable.

I go back to the illustration I stole from someone: The Harlem Globetrotters vs. The Washington Generals. The Globetrotters needed the Generals, to lose, so they (the G’s) could do their show. The Republicans just want to lose, so that they get to suck at the trough as the #2 team. This effort will continue that.

What Republicans should do now is to insist that 0care cover illegal aliens.
