I don't think they are going to get over this defeat, Republicans are going to do whatever they can to sabotage it. They voted over 60 times to repeal it, they have hugged this close for years and I don't see them simply walking away or reaching out to Democrats in order to work together. I can count on one hand the number of Republicans I find to be credible. Hells bells, I don't even believe they work for Americans, I think they satisfy their own needs, whatever they may be, needs like grudges and old resentments.
I have a lot of Republicans in my life, they don't even talk politics anymore, they are horrified by so much of this crap and because I care about them I don't poke them in order to try and fire them up. Every other Republican is fair game though. Fuck 'em all.
