analysis is correct. Everyone now understands that this is the only thing that will ruin the gop, and why they are playing with fire is beyond me. Yes the republicans often do stupid things, but this is complete suicide.
My hope on amnesty is that the Republican leaders are playing along with engaging on it as a delaying tactic. If the Dems are forced to admit that “good faith” efforts are underway (as they have) they’re limited in using it as a campaign issue.
This is a good thing. And I think the Dems are aware of the consequences of the GOP successfully playing it that way; which is why Obama’s starting to back away from a path to citizenship
Question therefore is whether the Republicans are smart enough to play it as a delaying tactic. Again i hope they are, and I’m willing to cut them a little bit of slack up until the point where something actually passes.
