just a distraction. McConnell and Ryan are in to deep to let this get away. This is going down no matter what. Reconciliation is McConnell's tool and this will happen in the middle of the night.

They simply cannot let Obamacare continue, certainly not under that name.

Likely they will repeal and replace it with nearly the same thing and claim it's completely different.

Even the mandate will stay, but they'll call it something else, like the "option" and claim it's completely not the same thing.
