I'll give you 3 guesses as to which side I expect them to come down on.

It will be a very telling moment. If after adopting a Republican drafted healthcare plan, then failing to sell and defend that Republican drafted Healthcare plan TO REPUBLICANS, I don't want to believe this was an intentional rigging of the game. But if the response to it being struck down is simply shrugged shoulders and moving on to whatever else is next, and if that involves touching medicare (as I suspect it does), then that is it. I am done. It will be perfectly clear to me that the Democratic party has been fully purchased and fully co-opted by the same forces that have the Republican party in it's grasp.
