Best we can hope for?

Maybe. Depends who gets blamed, ultimately, for this. Albaby has opined that the minority party generally gets the blame.

On the one hand, I see them fighting for the People. That's good, IMO. They shouldn't just roll over, or be seen to be rolling over. But, OTOH, if they were to abstain in a vote (rather than voting FOR it), maybe(?) the Reps would get all the blame when the ACA gets trashed. If that happens, the mid-terms would be very bad for Reps. At least, I think it would be. It would give the Dems a very powerful campaign bat to bludgeon the Reps with.

Not sure which is the better tactical approach.
