Hart’s withdrawal today shows that Republicans were right to continue to bang the drum instead of meekly retreating to the corner and letting this play out in DEMOCRAT-run committees.
When even staunch DEMOCRATS like former Clintonista George Stephanopoulos are using Republican arguments to question fellow DEMOCRATS on the wisdom of trying to overturn a House election that was already certified with the winner sworn in and seated, you know you’ve lost the argument.
Republicans need to remember the reasons Hart cited for her withdrawal and tattoo them on their foreheads if necessary: Sometimes the easiest way to defeat DEMOCRATS is by using their own arguments against them and not letting up on them one bit until they concede.
