“If he is really defiant like this and unwilling to face reality, I can see the Democrats having to let him go.

I can see them approaching Boehner and McConnell and putting together a group to tell him he is no longer politically viable and giving him a choice of resigning or being impeached.

Just the same as what happened with Nixon.”

More than likely, I see were they join the GOP on legislation in order to save their own necks. For example, legislation to chip away at ObamaCare will now not only pass the House, but the Senate. The president is fully expected to veto any attempt to do this. The GOP does not have enough votes to override the veto but they may, especially after last night's results, get enough Democrats to join them in order to save their own necks. Are they willing to fall on the sword for an unpopular and defiant president and vote for ObamaCare again? Harry Reid isn't going to protect them anymore

I agree this is a possible scenario. I'm sure it was not welcome among Democrat congress critters, to hear that Obama is going to draw swords. There could be a tremendous upside for a Democrat to heed the will of the people and be part of eliminating Obamacare from the political landscape.

I'm thinking Manchin, Mark Warner (Presidential aspirations) and others could turn our way on Obamacare.
