Strongly disagree. This was the same logic that led to Trump giving the GOPe (Ryan, McConnell) their tax cuts first and then seeing them block every single one of his policy priorities (while the GOP held both houses of Congress and the White House). If you give them (the GOPe) what they want, they will then abandon you when it comes time for them to help us with what we want.

The GOPe wants control of the Senate more than anything. It allows McConnell to have the nicest office. It allows the committee chairmen to control all the money. It ensures they will get donations from Big Corporate donors and lobbyists who want their priorities taken care of. The instant the Georgia runoffs are over (win or lose), the GOPe will turn on Trump with the force of a thousand suns. If you want something from them (and we do - we want them to provide a full throated defense of Trump and support during any court battles related to the election), then you force them to participate with the knowledge that if they don't provide 100% effort, then the conservative base abandons them in the Georgia runoffs and nobody gets what they want.

It's the only way to force them to be honest participants in the coalition. If you don't force them, they will never be team players. The day after the runoffs, Lindsey Graham is going to turn on Trump so fast that we're all going to get whiplash.

My bad. You're right. Let's let a literal fucking socialist like Ossoff run our country. That's just fucking great, isn't it? Let's let the progressives turn our goddamn fucking country into Venezuela just to teach Mitch a lesson.

Jesus fuck, what is wrong with you people? Why don't you open your mouths a little wider and let the progressives ram their cock down your throat, since you seem so desperate to suck on it any fucking way.
