Unfortunately, the House has exposed itself to this by voting to repeal Obamacare when they had no chance of getting that signed, and then when they had all the marbles, coming up with a crap bill that did not repeal Obamacare and not even taking it to a vote.
If the POTUS election didn't show the GOP what happens when the base is rendered marginally to un-enthusiastic, then I guess they can repeat the lesson, only louder. What looked like an electoral landslide was a squeaker in terms of well targeted popular votes. Those House seats not successfully challenged in the primaries may well be subject to loss as the only way to remove some hack who lied about the repeal. Without a vote, it is difficult to prove who stood where, and the electorate aren't so stupid as to think the absence of such a record was for any other purpose than a smokescreen.
The issue will have to be revisited before the midterms, or the risk will be greater.
