Could The GOP Come Out Looking Good With Regard To ObamaCare -- The Political Page, T+52 -- March 13, 2017

Declare victory and shut down Congress for all of April, instead of staying in session just eight days as it is.

Fact: everyone knows ObamaCare will die one way or the other. Some advocate doing nothing and letting ObamaCare simply die on its own.

Alt-left: Pelosi, Schumer, et al think they are in a win-win situation. If ObamaCare implodes and the GOP has done nothing to prevent the debacle, the GOP will be blamed. If GOP assumes the mantle of US healthcare, by definition the GOP has lost.

It's all about the narrative: the GOP should simply say that too many folks -- including the "Deep State" and the mainstream media love ObamaCare so the GOP will leave it alone. Declare victory and move on. Continue to call US healthcare ObamaCare and it will be the gift that keeps on giving. The only ones reminding us of the Trump/GOP pledge to "repeal and replace" will be the alt-left media (which will blame Trump/GOP regardless) and the randites. [The randites are not to be confused with the Ronettes.]

Fallout: the fallout of "declaring victory, moving on" can hardly be any worse than stepping into this pile of manure.
