#3 Second thoughts? How the hell did they do that when they haven't even thought about it the FIRST time yet?

#4 OldSpook, you beat me to it. They never thought about Obolacare the first time around.

#5 Not just health care policy but the value and political feasibility of modern liberalism’s raison d’être is at stake. The main point of Schumer’s recent speech was “Democrats must embrace government” as “what we believe in,” “what unites our party,” and as “the only thing that’s going to get the middle class going again.” He thought that Obamacare was regrettable to the extent it had complicated rather than furthered that fundamental purpose.

#6 It's all about show. When it comes time to vote, the minions will still support massive centralized government no matter how inefficient or corrupt.

#7 Tame Republicans keep running interference for the Dems. Dems are never accountable. They just go into remission.

These.

The Dems are happy to take the hit so long as the policy is now in place. And the ones who lost their offices will get succor from the Establishment to make the hurting go away.

Meanwhile, the Boehner-McConnell axis will simply consolidate most of the Dem's gains for them, much as the immediate post-New Deal GOP did in the Fifties.
