Short term pain for long term gain is real

2. Are they really this stupid

To move as they have is a sure way to cut themselves off at the knees for the midterms.

Strategically you would think they would wait til after the election to do their worst, while still retaining power.

I find this disturbing, and I won't put any theories out there.

I agree totally about the need for the Democratic party to stiffen their resolve when that time comes.

Perhaps a million or more in the streets of DC before that time comes may help them deliver and realize politics as usual is over.
