They will march lock step as long as they fear they'll be destroyed if they step out of line.

That'll be their undoing. The longer they stay in lock step, the greater the risk something that they're doing while in lock step will destroy them.

...and some of the things that we are getting all excited about are blown out of proportion.

Keep in mind Roberts kept Obamacare alive. There was every bit as much drama about his appointment.

We have to be better about choosing our battles. Staying calm during the battle and not losing sight of the end goal.
