I would rather lose the seat than give up.
What? You would rather lose the seat? And therein lies the problem. Losing the seat is really giving up. If you don’t see that the possibility of Schumer taking over and the Dems taking over every committee is not the worst possible outcome, we have nothing further to discuss. Politics is the art of the possible and we don’t always get what we want. We try to get as much as we can.
