(58,785 posts)was clearly designed to be hacked to produce conservative victories as needed.
That they may feel forced to take more risks this year seems not just possible but probable to me though. The people in congress are practically committing political suicide, acting desperate and taking risks they never would have before. As if they're waiting, hoping, wondering, perhaps expecting someone to somehow save their bacon and make things okay for them.
The ones giving them their orders from their estates and penthouses probably don't share that desperation from positions of presumed safety, and we shouldn't underestimate their ruthlessness or arrogant belief in themselves, or massive corollary contempt for us. Their 4 decades and more of work is just another election away from securing a degree of victory it might take us as many decades to undo. And Charles Koch is in his 80s now, no more long-range plans.
