See if you understand this.
I can fight with my brother or my family member, but if you jump in, we will both fight you.
If we want to chunk Trent that's one thing. To assist them doing it is another thing altogether.
Yes, I fully understand the analogy.
BUT you missed my conclusion. This is not assisting them by having Lott step down from majority leader. They want his head on a platter (he resigns from senate) or his head on a target (he stays as majority leader). We don't.
This isn't about what James Carville, Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson, or their ilk think. This is about what Joe Everyman, Next Year's 18-Year-Old Voter, Reagan Democrat, Wishy Washy Moderate, CEO political contributer, et al. thinks about the GOP.
If Lott cares about advancing the conservative agenda, he should do what's best to achieve that. If stepping down from ML is best, so be it. Otherwise he's selfish and cares more about saving his skin (which he's doing a piss-poor job of) than advancing the conservative agenda.
