Doing nothing and siding with Schumer to kill this bill isn’t some act of noble principle, it obstructionism that helps the Democrats. Chuckie is quite pleased.

100% Dem opposition and 3 or 4 GOP defections doesn't give the Republican Party ownership of this mess.

Passage of this bill, however, will give them ownership. And this bill does nothing to stop the implosion of ObamaCare; it simply shifts the funding from taxes to deficit spending.

Nothing in this bill will put a check on costs, decrease people's massive deductibles, reduce their huge annual out-of-pockets maximums, or increase the number of providers they can choose from. And, failing that, next year the people will be pi$$ed off and vote accordingly.

In practical terms it does. The average voter, and swing voters in particular blame the party in power for whatever happens. They gave power to the Pubs, and they hold the party in power responsible for anything bad that happens. The Pubs can no longer blame anyone but themselves. That's political reality.
