Given the fact that the GOP no longer talks about repealing the mess this sentence doesn't fill me with a lot of optimism.
Exactly. The GOP willl say they can fix it better than the Democrats. And paint the Tea Party candidates as racist, no-solution, extremists for wanting to repeal.
They’ll start the “they don’t offer any (statist) solutions” mantra soon, even as the Tea Partiers clearly state their (market-driven) solutions.
Free markets and invisible hands are no longer viable political solutions in GOP America - you must have Central Planning.
