You don’t work together from a position of allowing yourself to be walked over. Al Franken didn’t let himself be walked over in the 2008 Senate race in Minnesota, and he fought for every vote until he won by 225 votes over Norm Coleman.

At this point, I’d have less respect for Abrams, Gillum and Nelson if they walked away from this fight, if they allowed themselves to give up on the vote count. Sinema is sticking to her guns in Arizona, and now she’s ahead of McSally. 

Republicans understand that the goal is to win by any means necessary and govern by strength, and I respect that belief enough to duplicate it. Is it petty? Is it bitter? So what. It’s also smart.
