Beat the dems over the head?

Why? It would just make the GOP look more ridiculous. They promised to repeal it for 7 years and then when handed all the reins of power they couldn’t even repeal it in order to replace it with virtually the same program!

GOP is not a serious party anymore. They are mostly corrupt filth. And I believe they are trying to lose the House in the mid-terms.

“...when handed all the reins of power they couldn’t even repeal it...”

Again, it all comes down to whether we could get 60 votes in the Senate to invoke cloture. We don’t have that. Not even close.

Your point about the weakness of the GOP is noted and in general, I don’t disagree wit you. But it all comes down to not who controls the Senate - but the actual number of seats that we’re in control of.

Do I like any of this? Hell No! But it’s a fact and one we should do well to recognize.
