Lawrence thinks we can't see or understand what's going on in plain view.
He wants us to believe that there is some greater strategy in play or that Schumer et al. are playing the long game that will somehow be a winner for us all. Well, I call BS. I think they're flailing and have no more idea how to beat the Repukes at this game than the average Joe on the street. They certainly have no idea how to explain themselves. Angus King saying we can't beat Pumpkinhead at this game; Jean Sheehan saying she trusts the Repukes to hold her magical vote? PLEASE!
Lawrence is a former Senate staffer, as he loves to remind us, and I think he'd love to return to that job. It certainly seemed like an audition for it to me.
