Well they lost this battle last year leaving me wondering what they were thinking when they jumped in. Now they appear to be repeating themselves again without any real idea on how to sell it again. Dems are folding the Ryan plan back to the War on Woman theme.I think they will try to focus "end of medicare as we know it" ads in swing states with lots of seniors and soon-to-be seniors (especially those who are not 55 yet) and other entitlement recipients. It's a little different in an electoral college election.
They will try to sell it by repeating it until people start dreaming about it.

Stealing our medicare and taking away the women's birth control to pay for ‘more’ tax cuts for the rich.
Republicans keep on jumping into these steep uphill battles with approaches and arguments that assume that they are easy sells. It is hard to imagine that they didn't think of one argument newer than the Reagan era.
One possible answer to SJB's question is that Republicans want to lose because being in the minority is easy.
