They don't have a choice. Their only option is to play the same game, create the mother of all crises, and then force the people to demand change.

The GOP voter rolls are awash in transfer beneficiaries and recipients of other forms of govt beneficence. When we get a truly gridlocked and broken system, they'll whine for big govt with a shrillness no one's heard before. And the Dems will be their only hope.
