1) if health care passes, then it will increase entitlements and deficits and 2) if health care passes, their chances in Nov go down, because Americans only remember success and what they get out of the deal

No, the GOP believes 1 but not 2. The GOP actually thinks they will do better in November if Obamacare passes because they can run against Obamacare, which is, if you haven't noticed, unpopular. But they would rather it not pass because it will be so difficult to repeal.

The first four years of Obamacare contain higher taxes and higher premiums with hardly any benefits. It is beyond sense to think that Americans will suddenly change their minds and like Obamacare by November if it passes. One measure of Democratic desperation is that they are now openly running on the platform that Americans are too dumb to know what's good for them.
