Do you think it’s plausible that a lot of Republicans would prefer to see Obamacare in place, and so continuing to bicker and failing to reach an agreement is actually a politically safe way of ensuring Obamacare stays? (as opposed to openly supporting it or something and risking the ire of all the rednecks and hicks…

They can all point the finger at the other guy, say they tried, and keep the legislation that their constituents hate in name but love in practice.
