U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will not block efforts by Republicans to vote on Tuesday night on amendments to a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.
“We’ll have to see what they propose, but we don’t mind having a few votes tonight,” Schumer told reporters after the Senate voted with no Democratic support to open debate on healthcare reform.

That is not saying they are going to support or consider a repeal, Dems are unified against it. It is a tactical move to let the crybabies on the right have their billionth waste of tax payer money vote so the GOP cant say they stopped it. Dems know that there are too many different factions in the GOP in any case that the reconciliation wont work in any case. Schumer is basically letting the GOP fall on their face.
