What a Win for GOP on ObamaCare Will Look LIke

     Greg Sargent continues to chronicle that the GOP isn't entirely sure they want to 'win/ Burkwell, though I don't quite buy that: they want to win. 

     Politico reports that Republicans are no longer entirely sure they want to repeal all of Obamacare:

Just days before the court’s ruling, the party is still grappling with the question of how much of the law to repeal, in part because of its exorbitant cost. The plan to use the expedited procedure — called reconciliation — is in flux as lawmakers realize they would have to come up with hundreds of billions in spending cuts to pay for a full repeal of Obamacare. And some Republicans aren’t sure they want to go there.

   "Yep, it sure is inconvenient that repealing Obamacare would add hundreds of billions to the deficit Republicans say they care about, isn’t it?"

* "Peter Suderman has a good piece explaining why Republicans ultimately can’t win on health care: They don’t know what they want “winning” to look like."

     I think they do want to win and they do know what a win would look like they just can't say it in public. They want the SJC to kill subsidies and then they will do nothing meaningful to fix it. They may come up with something they call a 'fix' but this will fix will likely include killing the ACA mandate which will be the end of it. 

  They do know what they want on healthcare-the pre-2009, pre-Obama status quo. 

  That's what they want on every issue. The status quo prior to Obama. That applies to basically everything. Foreign policy-pre-Obama. They complain that 'America's footprint has shrunk' during teh Obama years. So basiclaly back to the war-mongering of Bush-Cheney. 

  They can't say this as unpopular as Bush-Cheney still are but that's what they want. This same rule applies to immigration, financial regulation, fuel standards, gay marriage, Cuban policy. They like everything before 2009. 

  Truly the libertarian party they don't want to fix anything. Like though they express sadness and sorrow at what happened in SC they have no interest in doing anything that might actually fix things.
