That's right, let them win.
And let them take ALL the credit for it.
Come out on National TV and say "We got our asses kicked. They won EVERYTHING they wanted."
Admit this is a Republican plan.
Admit you lost. And lost badly.
Allow them to OWN the victory.
Then they will also have to accept the blame for what happens then.
"You got everything you wanted. Why isn't it better?"
When going against an entrenched foe, extend his lines until they reach the breaking point. Then attack and they fall apart.
"Republicans got everything they wanted. And it's not helping us. Why should we vote for them?"
If the economy is going to suck for the foreseeable future, let's at least make sure that everyone knows that the policies are REPUBLICAN policies.
Admit you lost. Forget "bipartisan compromise". Admit they kicked your ass. Admit THEY won. And THEM ALONE.
And remind people whose policies are causing their hardships.
