Joel B. Pollak: Why Defunding Obamacare Matters, Win or Lose
"The critics overlook the strongest case for attempting to defund Obamacare: namely, that doing so is an urgent political necessity to save a party rapidly losing touch with its voter base. Conservatives--and, in fact, Americans in general--are eager for an effective opposition party. Among the many different explanations for why Mitt Romney lost in 2012--changing demographics, Tea Party suppression, the '47 percent' remark--the fact remains that he was the candidate least qualified to take on the policy most objectionable to voters."
