Not if they leave Obamacare to collapse and burn on its own. They have the moral and intellectual high-ground on this one. Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote in the House or Senate.

And it's the Republicans running both Houses and the White House now. If they let Obamacare die then the Democrats will blame them for all those people losing coverage.

The Democrats owned Obamacare while he was in the White House. It's different now. The GOP owns this, and the Democrats would be just as happy to watch the whole thing collapse just so they pass on the blame.

They can't even blame Republicans for not "fixing" it when it was all theirs to begin with.

Don't think so? Watch them.

Obama’s not dumb; he is malicious, though.

The reality of Hanlon’s Razor is its reverse. Always attribute to malice what one’s first instinct would try to explain by stupidity, especially in politics. Obama did not attain the presidency by accident.

You mean the millions of people who purchased coverage because they were forced to by force of law and threat of IRS?

Those people?

I suspect those people are going to be HAPPY to see Obamacare collapse under its own weight and go away. They didn't want it in the first place!

Millions more recognize just how useless Obamacare is with it's astronomical premiums and even more astronomical out of pocket deductibles that turn health care "insurance" into anything but.

Obamacare is UNUSABLE. The overwhelming majority of people know this. LET IT DIE.

Obamacare is funded by raiding private retirement bank accounts. Hence it cannot be funded, because only Obama wanted to risk prison.

BEST OF ALL WORLDS

Obamacare 1.0 burns.

Democrats keep burning and losing.

Republicans win more seats.

Trump tried and wins.

Paul Ryan loses, he cannot lead.

“They can’t even blame Republicans for not “fixing” it when it was all theirs to begin with.”

I understand the thinking but I can also tell you from personal experience that some of the idiots on the left were blaming anything that was wrong with Obamacare on the Republicans YEARS AGO!! Idiots don’t comprehend your argument, all they know is if it turns out bad it’s the GOP, even if not one single Republican voted for it. If they had a working brain they would not have voted for Obama twice.

I think the very folks you’re talking about are pretty marginalized these days. They wouldn’t have voted for President Trump or ANY Republican anyways, so who really give a flying f*** what they think? I sure as hell don’t. I don’t know many people (if any) who do.

The House voted to repeal Obamacare in its entirety six times *before* we gave them a majority in both Houses and the Executive Office. And *now* our spineless mealy mouth representatives lose their stones to try a seventh time? Now? Really?!? Sissies, cowards, and Rhinos surrounded by enablers, of which I will not be one.

They are more liars than cowards. Who do they have to fear now, or ever?

The Democrats won’t do that until they see they have no other choice.

They always believe they have no other choice but what their ideology dictates.

“By “conservatives”, are you saying “Republicans” instead?”

No, I’m saying conservatives. Not all republicans are conservative just the same as not all democrats are liberal. So the tag of republican doesn’t mean anything. I blame conservatives for allowing this mess to get into existence. The democrat conservatives vote lockstep with the liberals most of the time because they fear funding and media repercussion. The conservatives also fear media kick back. They’re both spineless, just a different side of the aisle.

What conservatives? And since the point was raised, what Democratic conservatives?

Nobody can be a conservative and “fear” the media. Those that show apparent fear of the media are not conservative at all.
