“This battle is won with high drama and acting. Dems are out to win, results are what they value not symbolism. “
Since we have capitulated at every step and that got us NOWHERE, maybe we should try fighting back, for once.
Keep in mind that Rs tried three big standoffs in 2011 against O, and they only ‘capitulated’ after O successfully turned public opinion against them. That part seems to be missed, the cave is just the formality.
Now O pretty much has that from the start, and he will continue to play up the act on TV high drama with phony tears.,.
I see no reason to believe that this will go any better than those other three did,
I do agree with you though, if they hold out for a while it will be quite a show to watch. But I wish that Bohner would resign, I think those safe seaters will put him back in to make him the goat for how it turns out, none of them will step up to that job..
They get elected every two years, a R party with all safe House seats would be ~ 150 (of the 512) and then they don't have to convince anyone of anything to just say no and get re-elected.
