If the Democrats were as smart as I would like them to be

They would take advantage of the faltering Tea Party. I say kick them when they are down! And keep on kicking!
As moderate Republicans come to some realization that they have hitched their wagon to a rouge horse, we need to brand this horse with all the madness it has harnessed itself with.
All of the climate denying, birthing, anti-government, anti-Obamacare, and bigoted rhetoric needs to be stuck to their brand like glue.
As moderate Republicans awaken from the nightmare they need to be reminded over and over that the Tea Party is directly responsible for pushing the paranoid ideology of very radical hateful people.

Their only winning tactic appears to be cower in a corner, wait for the GOP to say or do something stupid and then come running out and going "HAHA!!! See! Look at how crazy they are!!!!"

This tactic can only work so long.

They can only play defense, not offense.
