As regards the pursuit of victory, it does not matter why. You go to war with the Army you have. We don’t have the power to freeze the election year calendar while attempts are made to change GOP policies to restart donations.
The calendar moves. Inexorably. The fund raising has collapsed. The coffers have to be spent on winnable races and only winnable races, and if the presidential candidate shows up at the door with his hand out, filling that hand translates to a tsunami of Dem seat pickups.
Only Romney can prevent this.
Like hell.
