I would never make such an assertion as you suggest.

To do should would imply micro knowledge of detail I don’t have.

On a macro scale, I for see the GOPc having great influence in the House that can be transmitted within the new Republican Senate by Senator Cruz and others

Politics is the art of the possible. Only that which can be done will actually be done

Then you admit that the multitude of repeal votes is not necessarily proof that the Republican party is trying to get rid of it.
(Combined with the funding issue, it becomes fairly easy to say that the Republicans want it — or at the very least don't care about it not being repealed, they are exempt, after all.)

Granted; though it does little good to take people at their word after they've proven their word means very little.
