Just because the GOP Senate will never choose to do the right thing doesn't make them undefeatable.

They're entirely predictable. Plan our political moves based on what we KNOW they will do.

Mitch McConnell will ALWAYS do what he thinks will give him the Senate Majority.

1/
Lindsey Graham, who has neither spine nor soul, will ALWAYS do whatever he perceives to be in his personal political interest in the moment, and he's always a follower, never a leader. He's a floating leech, moving from McCain to Trump to whoever can offer him influence.

2/
Josh Hawley aspires to fascistic dictatorship.
He's not a loyal Trump Cultist.
He wants to REPLACE Donald Trump as the head of the grotesque murder cult that is the American right-wing.
He'll do all the perfomative transgressive behaviors he thinks will win over those voters.

3/
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are just pathetic.
They're trying to pull the Hawley play, misunderstanding how their own servile subjugation to Trump undermines their aspirations to replace him. They're useful tools who don't understand that the MAGA base hates weakling politicos.

4/
As for Trump himself, he is a black hole pulling all existence in to himself, trying to swallow all the attention in the world in order to fill the gaping void where his self-worth ought to be. All the Republicans PLAYING at monstrosity lack this fundamental character trait.

5/
Know thy enemy.
Republicans are evil, but their behavior is entirely predictable.

Stop expecting them to do the right thing, and then being disappointed.

Expect them to behave as they've taught you that they WILL behave, and THEN you can outplay them.

This is how we beat them.
