For the Democrats...politics is a barroom brawl...complete with the broken bottles in hand.
For the Pubbies...its all about Country Club rules, standing around the fireplace, drinks in hand.
Tom Delay was the only Pubbie in my memory who really and truly understood this. He always prevailed because he could”read the room” right before the brawl and knew who he had to take out first. the Dems spared no effort to remove him from the game.
Unless a primary challenger dares to file.
