re: #62 Targetpractice

What could he offer that would equal the appeal of even a one-year delay of the ACA? To agree to tax reform? That would break down as soon as the GOP realizes that he’s not going to bend from insistence for higher taxes on the rich. “Entitlement reform”? The Dems would skin him alive. No, Obama’s not going to save their asses this time. And really, why should he, when as you say, he’s not going before the voters again?

He doesn’t have to offer much more than the chance not to be Newt Gingrich. Anything he gives them is just decency and gamesmanship, though it might help them over last-minute cold feet.
