Are they trying to threaten the Suicide Caucus with giving them all the credit for destroying an enormously unpopular bill?

It could. I'm no expert, but wasn't OPEC keeping the price low to gently caress with producers of oil that weren't OPEC?

cuz the republicans have ran on repeal and replace obamacare for 8 years you have to do something which looks like a repeal

what owns is people equate 'repeal obamacare' with 'affordable health insurance' so they are kind of hosed if they can't actually control premiums quickly.

Prices are trapped so long as USA has excess shale production, any price increase triggers a flood of wells to be activated if not new ones drilled. Oil is trapped under 60 and there's nothing the cartel can do about it.

the reason he's loving around in foreign elections so much is this

of course he could also get the sanctions lifted by not being a tyrant douchebag, but y'know

On you mean Russia? Yeah that was a side effect but their big thing was to make oil more competitive with incredibly cheap fracking gas so that people didn't switch from using oil for things to using gas for stuff (like heating or power plants I guess) - the language used was "market share" but I don't think the Russia effect was unforseen so much as it had no fucks given about it.
