All their poll numbers will tank even further that night.

All Republican Congressional members should wear Red in protest of this marxist thug!

No, Obama is in a win-win situation with this gambit. He is putting the Reps in an inferior position where they will be outnumbered by almost one hundred people. And the image will be that the Reps are blocking this when the reality is that the Dems can pass anything they want. They don't need the Rep votes.

This is the equivalent of a Stalinist show trial with the Reps in the dock. If they express disapproval with what Obama is saying, they are disrespectful and obstructionist. If they remain silent, the Dems applause will make it seem like the majority of people support ObamaCare. It is lose-lose for the Reps, especially given the MSM bias and partisanship.

Obama will rise in popularity among his base and be seen as the great compromiser interested in the welfare of the people, especially the children.
