Republicans in the House can’t change anything until after the election, because the Dems control the Senate. Only IF we flip the Senate will a new Congress be able to kill Obamacare after Jan. 1.

You are correct. There simply isn’t anything one can do as long as Harry Reid is the Senate leader. At this stage, just over 3 months until the election, I don’t feel like giving the Dems any sort of opportunity to change the current momentum for our side. Any threat of government shutdowns or sob stories from targeted groups only hurts us at this stage. We want to fight about the big issues, which are in our favor.

If Obama gets reelected, it matters not whether the GOP gains control of the Senate or not--presuming the Reps won't have 60 votes. And Obama has the veto power.

Obamacare will be implemented if Obama wins.

BS.

The House can defund it. Spending bills must originate in the House.

Obviously, when they voted to repeal it, that was just a bunch of hot air.

When the time comes to effectively repeal it without the Senate, by defunding it, they’re a bunch of spineless pansies.
