I'm curious to see how this plays out.
My rep is a Republican named Mark Amodei. (R-Nev) One of the right wing-nut websites gives him an F grade in terms of voting, which doesn't surprise me. One of the benefits of living in a small state is you can actually call up your rep and talk to him - my wife arranged an interview with him for a project she was filming and he struck me as thoughtful and reasonable, which probably explains the above F grade.
He's said several times that he would happily vote to repeal Obamacare ONCE a realistic replacement plan was proposed. Which hasn't happened yet, and Ryan and his gang of idiots are going to squeezing for every vote they can get. My gestalt is that his seat is safe enough that he can vote no if he wants, but it would likely get him on the bad list with the higher ups - and our state GOP thought it was a good idea to run the bat**** crazy Sharon Angle against Harry Reid a few years ago, blowing the chance to put that slimy turd out of office.
He should probably get sick for a few days and miss the vote....
