Whatever the case, running
on repealing ObamaCare is a win-win for Hillary

With all the talk abuzz about an inevitable Hillary
Clinton candidacy, I wager that her platform will include repealing ObamaCare.
Hillary will declare late in the spring so that she can positively impact the
midterm elections to benefit the Democrats.
What would Hillary gain from a repeal-ObamaCare platform?
First, such a position would effectively neuter the Republican position
of anyone running in 2014 (and beyond). All the hand-wringing and fundraising,
all the sob-stories and alarm bells about ObamaCare would be utterly weakened
if Hillary was out there saying the exact same thing. Any Republican candidate
on the same policy page as Hillary Clinton would be disastrous for them. The
Republicans are hoping for strong gains in 2014 — possibly even taking the
Senate — and are banking on a fledgling ObamaCare to do it. This objecztive
could not be achieved with Hillary added to the mix.
Second, a repeal-ObamaCare position from Hillary would
give vulnerable Democrats a free pass to sever close ties and loyalty to Obama.
Obama is toxic right now; his popularity is in the mid 30’s and his signature
legislation is overwhelmingly disliked across the country. With Hillary jumping
in, Democrats would be able to rally around a more popular and likeable
Democrat (what Democrat doesn’t like the Clintons
