I’m not sure I see the problem here, they got a majority although they were just trying to fast track by requiring a super-majority. So, just go through the normal channels and attach it to a must pass bill like the debt ceiling increase with a majority vote. (Unless they don’t really want to repeal it and this was all for show, which is a distinct possiblity.)

The GOP couldn't (or wouldn't) get rid of low-flow toilets when they had full control of the government, so why would we think they would get the votes for repealing the light bulb ban? Same old, same old, once a law is passed, it is almost impossible to reverse it.

More like a probability. They had nowhere near the votes to pass it as a super-majority, and it's unlikely that they did not realize that. This was just electioneering to pretend that they tried.
