This ignores the fact that the possibilities for the shape of a repeal bill was significantly restricted by the need to work within the reconciliation process. The entire dynamic is different when you start at square one knowing you are aiming for 51 rather than 60.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1354169447595044864 …

Not really. The GOP didn't have the stomach to repeal the law. This is no different from Trump still claiming he's got a secret health care plan that will be released any moment.

To pick one obvious example, without having to use reconciliation, it would have been possible to repeal the individual mandate with 51 rather than just repeal the tax. The availability of more piecemeal repeal changes the dynamics.
