Yep, Lobloather, it’s a game. Sadly, the pubbies play it badly.
The pubbies need to stand firm and shout to the rafters every time the dhimmicraps turn down a bill, or offer up a plan that includes ACA, unlimited debt, or eliminating the (0bama) sequester.
They have NO NEED TO CAPITULATE. They do, however, have a serious need to get the message out...loud and long.
I think the Dems are united because they are a team and they want to take over the WHOLE country. The government is the corporation of the Democrats and they are monopolists, they do not want competition. The pathetic Republicans, on the other hand think in terms only of their own careers and do not think of their party as a team.
