    Prediction: Republicans will end up making minor tweaks to Obamacare, call it a repeal and replace and declare victory.

        if they use the 2015 reconciliation bill as a baseline for what they pass, that's much more than "minor tweaks."

        true, but I don't think the votes are there for that this time around - with it actually taking effect. Could be wrong.

        they've all already voted for it. To vote for repeal & then against when it really matters? That's an ad buy waiting to happen.

        if it gets to the floor with the same language, but even then, are Dems going to run anti-Obamacare ads?

        Dems don't matter here. GOP failure to pass a bill at least as strong as 2015 would be seen as a betrayal by the base.

        you're saying primary ads. That will affect the House. But the Senate?

        yes, I think the base is expecting full repeal, and memories will be long.

        Do Dems let them get away with it in order to keep the policy? Or try to fight for the political upper hand?

        They divide into 1,000 pieces and factions, which is one more reason it's goods strategy for GOP.

        The fact is, what some Republicans really want to do with "Obamacare" is a namendectomy. Which is asinine…

        But as Pres. Obama himself said today w/ @ezraklein & @sarahkliff he doesn't care if his name's on it, as long as it helps ppl.

        I'm inclined to agree. Then, when all the provisions take effect, the @GOP will claim credit for its success.

        They could keep it as is, say they've repealed, change name from #Obamacare, &their supporters would never know the difference.
