12. It'll completely knock the legs out from under their platform and their ability to push their vision

Which is as you know: Government ( except for the military ) is BAD, and it's badder yet if it interferes in any way with a businesses right to do whatever it wants. Thus far they have far too many of the populace bamboozled into believing this. Once many find out this is NOT the case, rethugs will lose a lot of popular ( voter ) support, if not financial support. It may also serve as a watershed in that it may cause former center-right types to question the GOP's claims on other issues and I'm sure rethug operatives know this.

I guess that's just a long way of saying what many already have "They're afraid it will work" but I wanted to be more concise.
