[Political Junkie Too]

Maybe, but with the Democrats it's not about whether they think it will succeed or fail, it's about keeping the ball in play for as long as possible. Republicans, on the other hand, assume they will fail and therefore never play the game with gusto.

Democrats know they have the fortitude to tough it out longer than Republicans. For them, the strategy often devolves into mucking up the Trump/Republican agenda for as long as possible. If Democrats can't win, then make sure the Republicans get as awful a win as possible.

If Democrats do win, it's because they kept the game going until the other side commits a grievous error that costs them the game. Conceding early takes away this opportunity for Republicans to cave.

Yertle has not played this way at all.

Time to reassess and stop feeling defensive.
