Could Romney have gotten a full ACA Repeal through a democratic senate majority?

Will the next Republican president simply ignore the ACA? Unless republicans win Congress in a landslide and get to 60 or stop the filibuster some other way, the ACA is probably here to stay but for a tax cut on medical devices and forcing more workers on to exchanges.

Anything more would be very risky. On one hand it could cause Democrats to back down on health care for decades as they had between Johnson and Clinton.  On the other,  it could cause Democrats to adapt a lie and wait approach and push through a more radical approach when the medical industry has finally busted on their own excess.

0. Romney would have repealed it on day 1.

But only after immediately labeling China a currency manipulator.

To me, that seemed like something like the Iraq War, something that had a 10% chance of being this huge breakthrough and 90% chance of being a cluster where it would still be hard to image shaking 10 years hence.
