Democrats have a winning strategy that Republicans cannot compete against.
You know that observation that leftists think violence is a dial they can turn to the precise level that is most advantageous to them? The same is true here. The Democrats have an unbeatable strategy as long as they are allowed to choose the only level of escalation where they win. If the Republicans did not respect that choice - if they treated the theft via fraud of America's nuclear arsenal like a problem demanding a military solution - they would have a winning strategy the Democrats cannot compete against.

You're assuming good faith from 20+ year career politicians.
That is a mistake.
The Republicans didn't shoot themselves in the foot. They get all the benefits and none of the costs by playing "opposition".
