4. That sounds like "the GOP only screams if it has the facts on its side". Is that what you meant?

My guess is that the GOP could and would scream about it (and many other things) whether it is working or not. Their base hates it so promising to "repeal" it is part of their campaign strategy.

Like many of their party's policy likes and dislikes, there is little connection between republican policy choices and what actually works in the real world. It is all about fear and emotion and pushing their base's buttons.
