The Democrats have been so blindsided and knocked silly by the massive explosion that was obamacare, that they're not thinking clearly; and certainly they're not thinking about the long-term effects of the nuke option they just triggered.
Only if obamacare is repealed will the Dems win the White House in 2016. Hillary Clinton or whomever is the Democratic nominee will need to do what McCain did to GWB in '08. obama is so toxic to Democrats right now that the Democratic nominee will have to distance her/himself from obama and especially obamacare.

I think you are misjudging the effects of obamacare on the public. I personally don't know the percentages, but my impression is that the percentage of people being negatively impacted is relatively small compared to the number of people who will benefit or not be impacted at all. You are a typical republican, forming opinions based on fox news and extreme ideological passion instead of scientific or common sense rationale.
