Obama will veto this, so what is the point, other than grandstanding, as Sen. Cruz observed?
Let Obama veto it then.
Reid was the one who protected Obama from veto flack.
The VAST majority of the country absolutely hates Obamacare. If he vetoes a repeal, the Democrats are wandering in the wilderness for the next 40 years.
Anything that keeps Lesser evils from doing anything else is a good thing.
Sounds like either the Dems or Obama will kill the highway bill to prevent this. I guess the only thing we get is the export-import bank bill is killed for now.

There is no point other than grandstanding. The bill will pass, Obama will veto it. Smiles all around.

A veto also means veto of the highway bill and Ex Im Crony Bank.
FWIW, I wouldn’t put deathcare on this, because that’s too big of a poison pill for dear leader to swallow. BUT defunding planned infanticide would almost instantly start saving kids. He might let that go through. I could be very happy with a deal that got rid of a half a billion of government financing for those demons at the same time their private funding is drying up.
The veto will also flush ExIm.
He can have one, but not the other.
