4. I think only in the short term...
it's a clusterf*ck for GOPers. If they don't take it apart when the opportunity comes, they'll be stuck with it forever and we'll expand on it whenever we can. If they do take it apart when their opportunity comes, it'll be their albatross...all those people who received benefits under this that will lose them will be irate at the GOP.

Looking at socio-economic numbers by region, the majority of the people who will benefit most from this plan...are from the deep South and the bible-belt. It's a curse for Republicans. They literally can't win at this point...all they can do is hope to poison-pill the final bill which passes to the greatest extent possible and hope it dies a failing death on its' own.
