It will be spun that way of course. it’s really a temporary victory for the Democrat party though. Obamacare is a disaster and it’s probably going to implode and Dems will have to own its ultimate failure. That’s what this vote was all about IMO-making sure that the Dems are left holding the bag when it all comes apart.
If the Republicans were going to do that, they should have put a full bill forward and then had the Senate Dems filibuster it. Now the Republicans own the failure and look incompetent.
