Anything is possible I guess, but I think they will just kick the can down the street indefinitely until obamacare is forgotten. If they were going to go kamikaze they would have done it by now,hell, they would have done it before the first deadline i.e. the August recess. Obviously something is holding up the suicide mission and now, after the recent election, things are even worse.
We will see. I really don’t think they have the balls for such a suicide mission, nor the willingess to sacrifice dearly for a greater cause than themselves.
I think they're going to do this, because there really is no down side for them, individually or as a whole.
Individually, they may not get reelected, but they'll have jobs and power forever through some bureaucratic appointment. And as a group, I think they know that they are putting something into place that is virtually going to destroy America and reshape it in their image - and it won't even fully take effect until they are out of power. Therefore, a lot of the blame will probably go to the GOP, since Americans have very short political memories.
My fear, however, is that Bambi is going to get really angry now and we're going to have some incident that is going to collapse the whole system and hand it over to the dictatorial power structure he already has in place. Never underestimate the power of a PO'ed sociopath. They get even.
