I wish I could agree with you, but issues don't seem to matter any more. We are in the era of tribal politics.
The Dems will blame the Reps for the failure of Obamacare citing their lack of willingness to help fix (tweak) the problems rather than trying to repeal Obamacare and hurt all those who have benefited from Obamacare, i.e., the poor, the sick, the children (up to age 26), and those on expanded Medicaid. The Dems will fall back on the rhetoric they used to justify Obamacare in the first place.
I think we are in more agreement than you know. What you call tribal politics I call political strategy. Either way it does control the outcome of events and we need to get on the winning side instead of the losing side of outcomes.
The future of the country is at stake.
