They realize that they will wear this pig and it is now an entitlement for a lot of their voters too. They ran against it and voted 60 x knowing they wouldnt have to actually repeal, and then their criminal activity panned out and now they own it. I could be wrong but McConnell is not stupid and knows a 17% favorability rating for this bill is disasterous for his caucus. As much as he hates the black guy he fears doing nothing after 60 votes to repeal more.
