The Dem constituency wants to fight because they foolishly (and mistakenly) think they would win.

Probably some do. I am not that naive to think they could win. But if Reps can't get anything they want done, then they may have to consider wrangling some Dem votes to get legislation that can pass the filibuster. Wrangling Dem votes means giving them something. The Reps can declare victory, and Dems can say to their constituents that they got some concession of some kind.

Otherwise, Dems aren't even going to come out to vote. Why bother if your party won't fight? I do understand your point, but I think there is a balance between capitulation and winning. A middle ground that is neither, but shows your constituents that voting for you wasn't a blunder.

Cruz was an outlier. Even most of his own party didn't want him to do that.
