I would like to see the Democrats turn the tables on Boehner and the Repubs...

They expect Harry Reid and the Democrats to vote to keep "Obamacare" intact and then they can begin their propaganda campaign against Harry Reid and his blocking the defunding of Obamacare. The Democrats will blame Boehner and the Tea Party for wanting to shut down the government.

This could go on for days or weeks, if they come to no solution. They will be at a stalemate.

What I would like to see is for Harry Reid to get 5 Democrats, or however many is needed, to vote with the Republicans and pass the bill to defund Obamacare and send it to the President for his signature.

Naturally, the President would veto the bill and send it back to the House with instructions. Fix it. And leave the ACA intact.

Then watch them squirm.

(On edit) I know that won't happen.
