They know. Walker put up no fight. The deal was the governorship for the state house, and SCoW

Cynicism doesn’t help. If you are saying “they know” as in - don’t worry Dean knows, ok. But I read this as “don’t bother, you can’t fight the system” which is not helpful. I hope that’s not how you meant this.

Chronic optimism isn't going to win anything, much less this fight. It's the latter and I don't care what you hope.

It's the exact opposite actually. Chronic negativism leads to consistent failure. Nobody succeeds at anything unless they first believe they can succeed. Why do you think Trump keeps projecting big confidence even in the face of extraordinary odds? Part of it is that he knows things we do not, that's true, but part of it is because he is a winner and he knows that you must believe you can win before you actually make it happen.
