16. "Polls are tricky things." Here's why no Democrat
should worry. People do not like benefits snatched away from them. That was one of the reasons the government shut down of the 90s was so unsuccessful.

Whether or not Republicans want to acknowledge the facts, the health care law is already providing a benefit. By the time the get around to doing anything the benefits to Americans will have increased. Also, it's not like they have a lot of room to work in terms of what to defund.

Nothing is going to stop Republicans for being loud about their desires, and nothing is likely to stop them from theatrics, but the reality is that repeal isn't going to happen, and defunding will be directly associated with them. What are they going to defund?
