This is because like you say, they are not planning or expecting to win this and they want their own loophole.

Good point. The only way the Repubs are going to win this is to...follow Putin's lead! Go all out; let the government shut down. Sit on it long enough for the MSM to spew their venom for several news cycles, then come out and declare the indictments of Obamacare. Yes, that would require testicular fortitude of Chuck Norris proportion. But these Repubs have to understand that they will not EVER win on dismantling this monstrosity and will lose elections because of it (grandma being pushed off a cliff anyone?).

Your sarcasm is very artful and I enjoy it as I am as cynical as you are, but knowing that the above will not happen I still try to come up with some constructive ideas on how they should attack, unfortunately they wont do it .

Low hanging fruit : insist that any budget CR specifically defunds the special O-care bribes to congress, their staff and families. Insist they wait on line to see a doctor like we will have to.

If the ‘hell no’ caucus took this one on, then how could anyone debate them? They all even Cruz expect to lose their 'line in sand' on defunding, but this one would hurt Dems in congress bad.

But they wont because they all even the ‘hell no’ caucus want to still get it the O-care $$$$ when they fail as they know they will.

Putting loyalty tests ahead of results just doesn't work for me.
