The American People are against it,

Not in the kind of numbers to give conservatives a supermajority.

they don’t need more ‘pain’ for them to vote against it.

For that they do, good and hard.

After 4 years, it is still a majority and it is a determined majority at that, those who vote.

Obama isn't on the ticket this election, either is Reid, so the Democrats who are running (espically in Red States) are asked being asked to take it in the neck for them, like Clinton did with his tax hike in 94.
