That's because, as long as they have the GOP to kick around, the Democrats will be able to find a way to let the Mediabots draw comparisons favorable to the Dems, and the Dems will be able to continue to drive the Republicans to the Left and take down one issue after another -- running the table, as long as the game isn't over.
Totally winning everything means the Dems would thereafter be subject to summary judgment on their merits by the People and could Lose Big, when the People realize what the Dems have done to them.
That's possibly guillotine time.
That's what Ignatius is worried about.
That, and another possibility, that another party, similarly conservative like the Tea Party, might be able to sit down and start eating the Dems' lunch the way they've done the Stupid Party, creating a metastable situation in which things drift and lurch in the opposite direction, toward devolution of government giantism and the regrowth of personal liberty as a positive benefit to humanity.
I will NEVER. understand how and why the GOP uses the MSM as theif vhide to what the ‘mood of the country’ is. They are in disconnect .
