However the House *can* put up a bill forcing a bunch of vulnerable Senators to declare themselves on what may be the most hated bill in history, right before an election.

It’s a pressure point.

Agreed, but that didn’t seem to be what he was asking.

The vulnerable senators won't have to do any such thing. Reid will never bring it up for a vote.

They can try but Reid will simply not allow it to come to a vote so those vulnerable senators are protected.

If they are serious, they can attach various methods of repeal to every piece of legislation that leaves the house...
