The question now is whether Democratic supporters are willing to give up a moderate legislative loss in exchange for majorities in the House and Senate. They can win elections if they force the Republicans to make a difficult decision on a piece of legislation that supports their ideology.
Here’s the plan. Create a bill that reduces taxes on most Americans and cuts wasteful spending on social security, Medicare, or the military. It’s that easy. This will cause Republicans to either fight against some of their ideological principles, or support this bill, which will give the Democrats credibility as being bipartisan. Either way, the Republicans look stupid and their campaign message is significantly weaker in November.
Forget controversial issues like gay rights, abortion and immigration reform. You can get what you want in 3 years from now. Politics is about small losses and massive wins.
