So why didn't the 'pubs get rid of Obamacare when Cruz showed them how to do it, and in fact they stopped his initiative? Could it be because their paymasters in the insurance companies are doing quite well with forced conditions to be insured? Instead, they said "it's a campaign issue". Now they're trying to step back from defunding it, in spite of it being a factor. The thing to replace it with is....nothing.

It's not the only factor. The invasion of the US is a factor. The "Ferguson Effect" of a vast majority of people being disgusted about the lawless pandering to thugs is a factor.

Don't blame the dems anymore. The 'pubs got their massive majorities, so they now own the issues. It can't wait to be another campaign issue. They have to straighten things out NOW.

I agree with you right down the line. My comment was only intended to address who had a say in the bill’s creation/provisions, and who voted for it.

“So why didn’t the ‘pubs get rid of Obamacare when Cruz showed them how to do it,”

Because the GOPe’s corporate masters love it. Just like Obama’s amnesty plan.

Notice how the drum beat of repeal has died down now after the election. The GOP could take this and run with it building a constituency and momentum for repeal in light of all these revelations.
