Subject: Re: Joe Walsh
So let me ask you - what do you think would have happened if the Democrats continued to hold out? How do you see that ending that's different than this outcome?

You weren't addressing me, but I have a hypothesis. It doesn't directly involve Dems or Reps. It's the constituents. Discontent would have risen, possibly to the level of anti-Nam protests in the late 60s. That -perhaps- would have motivated more on the right to follow MTG into changing sides on this one issue. Johnson would then be the bad guy if he didn't allow his people to have their vote.

And Dems still could use Lucille to pummel them. (https://s1.r29static.com/bin/e...)
