    Cowardly, without doubt, but smart strategy, there’s no optical upside for Republicans with all the cuts to services, job losses and treason on full display, and these town hall video’s only serve to bolster the resistance, so, yeah, of course they’re going to do this

      It only works because the democrats are even bigger cowards who won’t exploit the silence to push their agenda.

        What, you don’t think Chuck Schumer’s plan of “Let’s just beg and plead with a few New York republican house members to play nice with us.” strategy is going to work?

          depends on your definition of ‘work’, I suppose. by mine? and probably most honest people right now… nope. Schumer might be playing a different game, though.
