re: #346 Targetpractice

Ayep. If the DNC cave now, that’s pretty much it for their House majority. This is the line in the sand they’ve made, if they cross it then there will never be another time where they can convincingly say “This is about principles” without everybody (including liberals) screaming “BULLSHIT!” Why? Because Trump will have proven that if he holds his breath long enough, eventually Dems will cave because they always cave.

How far do you let it all go before everyone would be bitching at the Democrats to do something to save them?

Even at a cost. Because that happens to good people dealing with the bad.

Where does politics end and concern for real people take over?

It isn’t going to come from Trump. Everyone has said he is a psychopath. Can’t count on that to change.

So how do you have a standoff with a psychopath? Especially one enabled by his party for who knows for what reason.

I want the Democrats to stay strong. But I also fear that could come at a high cost that will only increase.

If McCain and radicals like the Freedom Caucus continue to be willing to let it burn, do you let it burn?

If it got crazy enough I would hope the courts take over and ask US Marshals or Secret Service to intervene. What is really doable? I don’t know.

If it goes far enough some very drastic stuff is going to have to happen.

Democrats will have to do something and they will get blamed for a lot of it, as they always do.
