On the other hand, others are fixated on doing the “right thing” even though it accomplishes nothing to advance conservative goals, and may turn out to be completely counterproductive.
As stated you think the press will make doing the right thing counterproductive.
I think surrendering to the press doesn't work, witness the last 16 years of failure.
“As stated you think the press will make doing the right thing counterproductive.”
Nope, I didn’t say anything about the press. I just said it may turn out to be counterproductive. There’s a potentially large downside here, and no real upside. A sucker’s bet.
You talk about surrender, but that isn’t the only alternative to pursuing a futile impeachment battle that we already know we are going to lose. We could instead choose another battle to fight that we actually have a possibility of winning. I would rather have a real victory than a Pyrrhic one, any day of the week.
