8. Yep. It's the cowardly herd strategy, indeed.

That fear for personal safety always gets compliance, but at some point the moral and reputational pressure by even their Democratic colleagues might crack open a few votes. I can't believe they've even sustained this tension for this long. The strain is showing to us who pay attention, while media studiously ignore all that.

We have to relentlessly fight this out to the bitter end, make them realize how thoroughly they will lose. The fight to get Suozzi seated is just another foray.
Hakeem, Jamie, Swalwell, Moskowitz and Frost are good at this battle in the House, while on TV, Schiff, Pelosi and Biden present all the benefits of cooperation to the public.

We need to be born for this year's definitive battle.
