I’ll just quote my comment from another thread on this:
> Democrats: do not interrupt your enemy when he’s on the verge of shooting his own dick off.
>Do not cave to Trump. He’s literally threatening you with “I will ruin my own political career and hand you the next election if you don’t succumb to my demands!” Let him. That’s not the basis of a negotiation, that’s the Casino giving you a free chip. Take it.
>Then make demands for stuff he really doesn’t want. Reinstate every JAG officer he fired. Reinstate all inspectors general and create mandatory reporting requirements to Congress. Limit the power of executive orders. Stop his ability to impound funds. Stop his ability to grift billions in crypto from domestic and foreign political actors.
>Make this about authoritarianism and corruption.
>In other words: act like you’re actually in the crisis you claim we are in. Then you will gain votes and people will start to agree with you. It’s called “believing in something”.
Unfortunately this analysis is also based on Democrats having a modicum of spine and strategic thinking. I’m not sure that Schumer will come up with the right messaging for this after his dark ritual seance with “The Baileys” hallucination.
