What good is winning at all cost, if it costs you everything.

The Republicans have been governing by winning at all cost for years. They have not paid a steep price yet.

They are taking a big risk by voting for BK. They are going to vote for him no matter what. They want the win. It is very possible more women , more evidence, could come forward after they vote for him. That would be a major disaster for the Republicans that could cost them everything.

One day their luck is going to run out.

And a bunch of other radical judges throughout the country.

They will strike down everything we can pass through the Congress.

They will be dead once that win is countered. Or the electorate wil move on by then.

They have stopped every progressive policy goal, even at the cost of the planet's future.

They're a very long way for paying for anything they've done. I'm 54 and I doubt I'll live to see their luck run out.
