It all comes down to one simple problem--- ever see a plane with a hydraulic problem where they've lost control and the only way to keep the plane from crashing is to skew one flap one way, an elevator another way, and an aileron yet the other way, then shut one engine off while throttling the other to the max? And at that, now the plane is banking hard to the one side?
This is the democrats now, they have no choice now but to maintain direction the way they are going irregardless of how badly they are listing, and anything they do now either leads to a total collapse, or it leads to conceding something about Trump was right after all and agreeing with it. No matter which way they turn, it can only be either towards MORE crazy which is already what is killing them, or away from crazy back towards common sense, which is back towards agreeing with something to do with Trump, which is almost as bad for them.
Bad enough that legions of democrats are now supporting Trump, democrat donors and fund-raisers are supporting Trump and former democrat candidates like Tulsi and RFK have JOINED with Trump! Their base would be livid if now they too started siding with Trump!
For democrats not to totally nose dive this midterm if not the next big election, all they have left to hope for is that Trump pulls a total boner now, and for that, they'll drag their feet as well as a few RINOS like Mitch, which itself just makes them look WORSE. ITMT, they'll keep on attacking Trump, it is all they have left, but the attacks after four years (eight years?) have all worn pretty thin after none of them ever panned out.
The only way Trump can fail now is if he goes off into deep end on his own, or his own party fails to back his America First agenda. ITMT, Dems have painted themselves into a corner where they have no choice but to keep backing unpopular agendas, leading to a failed, incoherent message, which is leading to their own suicide.
Thing is, do they want to take the quick poison, or take the slow stuff that twists in their guts slowly killing themselves off. There are no good alternatives to common sense.
Could be checkmate.
