When Ted Cruz shut down the government, he said Republicans had to take on Obamacare now, because once the subsidies kick in, people will be hooked. Perhaps the botched rollout changes that, or, more likely, he’s still right. So wouldn’t the smartest approach right now be for Republicans not to lay back, but to actively become the “Fix Obamacare” people? And not with legislation like the Upton Bill, which was just repeal in drag. I mean, actually do little things to make the bill better and more popular. I realize it’s a bit radical to suggest the Republican Party actually serve the public, but since Obamacare is going forward anyway, wouldn’t it behoove them politically and allow them to play both sides? When things go well, they can say, “Yeah, that’s because we bailed his ass out,” and when things go poorly, they can say, “Wasn’t our idea.” Bill Maher
