I have a theory —

by fighting tooth and nail about Obamacare, and making a big public show of voting 41 times to defund it,… when it finally comes in fully and works well and people like it, the low-information voter will think that the well-working-and-likeble bill is what was left after the Republicans pared it down. They’ll think that there used to be all kinds of horrible provisions that the Republicans worked so very hard to save them from.
