Do Republicans want national health insurance as opposed to private plans? Because that is precisely what they will get if Obamacare is struck down. Look at the public polling on healthcare or even look at the exit polls from Tuesday. Even the conservative electorate that turned out on Tuesday trusts the Democrats more on health care. The people may hate the individual mandate, but they sure do love the underpinnings of this bill. If Republicans think nothing will happen if Obamacare gets struck down, then they don't understand the electorate.
Liberals will get fired up as all hell, but as far as the moderates and independents that decide these things... The ruling classes and 1% don't care if poors don't have healthcare. It's beneficial for them when poor people die. They are evil and greedy, so they will tell the GOP to market this as good. The GOP will then try to convince Americans that the old broken system of free market chaos is good. Will they convince enough of them? That's to be seen.
And as far as trusting Democrats more on healthcare? Of course, they are the only party that even provides a solution when talking about it!
The moderates and true independents who decide things are very supportive of most of Obamacare. They may hate the label but they love what's inside it. Democrats just have to package it correctly. Don't mention anything about Obamacare. Just rightly point out that the reason why your mother with a pre-existing condition doesn't have coverage anymore. Also, they need to grow some balls and actually come out in favor of it and defend it. As you saw in 2014, the Democrat's real problem is turnout. There are more than enough out there who favor the Democrats and it is becoming truer by the day as more people turn 18 and more olds die.
