Enter
and just let it fail naturally.
Remember, in the general election the inevitable Democratic
candidate will have to “own”
Obamacare, as the media likes to
say. This eventual Democratic opponent may have even cast a vote
in support of Obamacare. At the
very least it’s likely that he or she
will have said something in public
in support of Obamacare. A GOP
presidential candidate could put
this statement in what’s known as
an “attack ad.” Man, that attack ad
would sure make the Democratic
candidate look dumb, I bet!
LOOKING FORWARD
IN ANGST
In summation, it sure looks like
this “2016 election strategy” is
the way to go. It maximizes the
GOP’s opportunities, confers key
advantages and can, in the end,
produce an inarguable “mandate”
for getting rid of Obamacare.
Best of all, it neatly provides a
way around all of the crisis-raising
strategies currently being used to
get rid of Obamacare. The public really hates government shutdowns,
but Americans are remarkably OK
with Republican people running for
president. Few, if any, object to this.
So, there you have it. I fixed this
for you! Now go and pass a clean
continuing resolution, boys
— chop-chop!
