The bold is in your original, btw.

Here's the full quote, in context:
Whether it is or it isn't bullshit is immaterial. This is not about facts. This is a game. If I'm playing this game, and my aim is to take out Trump, I want to make this about the substance of the call, not the prosecutor. The best way to do that is to have multiple Democrats speak about the investigation - spread the responsibility around, in a sort of "decision by committee" manner that obscures responsibility and individual actions. This blunts any attempt by Trump to create a referendum on Schiff.
Where do I even comment about what I think? I'm commenting on what matters within the political game afoot. And it is played as a game.

If and when Republican Senators decline to object to Trump's corruption and manifest unfitness for office, they will try to duck responsibility, and you will be buying it. The passive tense is very useful here -- Schiff's handling "will be viewed" as the reason -- there's an object, but we don't talk about the subject of the sentence. It's like the Never Trump Dance

I won't buy that at all. I've made it crystal clear that R Senators will vote their political needs, not the facts. Schiff will help them do that. He's the counter-villain.

Nothing is ever the Republicans' fault. If only Democrats had done something different.

When you lose, you don't blame the winner for winning.
