The author pushes Romney and RomneyCARE.

The G.O.P. has already made RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
the disaster of the century.

The tsunami is coming, though.

No thinking about it. I know it’s in trouble.

Hey, Josh - let's do a riff on the old chestnut What If They Gave A Party, and Nobody Came?:

What If 8 Million "Signed Up", And Nobody Paid??

And this buffoon has a PhD? **snerk**

How are they defining success? Names on a website?

Josh Marshall don't let reality hit you in the butt on your way to the Looney bin. Your ideas are hurting good people and now it is personal.

What causes you to brag about the success of something that leaves zip but destruction in its wake?

On Obamacare, the Republican party has bet big on failure for four years. Now the results are in. And they lost. Big time.

These delusional morons actually think that their opinion is fact, thence news.

It's not.
Reality is what it is.
The Obamacare web site is simply a poor symptom of the monumental failure.

Just make a list of the five most important "goals" of Obamacare.
Then convince me that they've been achieved as promised.

Total failure doesn't begin to describe it.

The next wave of "covered, but not able to find health service" has not yet begun; millions already find themselves without a doctor; without access to a hospital, and unable to afford either the premiums or the deductible.

When it becomes tens of millions, these idiots will have a lot of explaining to do. Besides the tired whine that the GOP "caused" the failure.

Marshall acknowledged that the Affordable Care Act probably will help Republicans in this year's midterms, but that in the long run, they'll suffer at the polls unless they face the supposed fact that the law is a success.

When one talks about success one has to have a measurable goal at the outset with which to compare the outcome. To me this can only be the forecasted results of the ACA which Obama and the Democrats argued for the bill before its passage. Namely more Americans covered by high quality health insurance at a lower cost to the individual and the government.

For the last six months or so the administration and the Democrats in general have been attempting to lower the public’s expectations of ObamaCare I think with little results. Their efforts to promote the bill perhaps were too successful and the reality of the bills results to unsuccessful and to wide spread.

But as a measure of how scared the Democrats are we can see them pull out their usual tools of deception; move the goal post and change the definitions. They have changed the definition of who has signed up for ObamaCare and delayed again and again who must comply with the ACA and when.

And to make sure that ObamaCare meets the measure of success Obama is having the Census Bureau message the census questions to make the results incomparable to past census data. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/16/us/politics/census-survey-revisions-mask-health-law-effects.html

For Democrats success looks like whatever they want success to look like because they can change the measuring stick anytime they want to.

The results are in? Obama delayed the biggest part of the bill, the employer mandate, for two years to avoid having it happen during this election year. When it does up to 100 million Americans will lose their current employer healthcare plans. And things will only go downhill from there.

If ObamaCare isn’t in trouble, why do they keep moving deadlines until after the election? Hmmmmm? Just because Barry and his little toads in his state controlled “media” are claiming the ObamaCare is on a roll, it doesn’t make it so. The only people buying the crap he and his “media” are spewing are his low information voters who believe everything they see on TV or on the internet. It’s on TV, it has to be the truth. LOL! We’ll know the real truth when insurance companies start going under or they start screaming for a “bailout.” It’s coming. Look for it.

“unless they face the supposed fact that the law is a success”

`Begging the question,’ conditioned by “supposed,” but still a favorite lefty trick and as important to recognize as a faulty premise.

It’s amazing to see all the suckers who believe these numbers coming out of the Obama regime.

Why aren’t they smart enough to remember the phony, double- and triple-counted “jobs created or saved” numbers that the Obamunists touted for the failed stimulus program?

These signup numbers are just as shovel-ready as those were.

Josh Marshall must be one of them liberal “optimists” who can’t seem to sense the real world around him. I don’t know why but I can’t get this song by Johnny Cash out of my mind:

Come the November elections, I wonder if the waters going to be high enough to sweep the supporters of Obamacare away.

even if you believe their numbers... 7m out of 330m is 2%

for a mandatory law, 98% rejection is a mandate.

the people have spoken... and they’ve told 0bammy and crew to shove it back up their ass

The law is a success? Sorry when only 7.1 million signed up and most lost their doctor of choice, it isn't a success.

Free market access to healthcare is the only solution.
