I don't think the GOP particularly cares if (a small segment of) Democrats find it to be poor practice.
Others, either conservatives or just people who are interested in actualities, see the cut for what it is and this 'controversy' ultimately is gone like a fart in the wind.
When you can point to trillions upon trillions in national debt and call these actions 'fiscally responsible' measures instead of 'austerity' measures that's smart politics.
