Like any schoolyard bully, the Republitards can spot an easy mark and will be back for the Democrats’ lunch money again and again until they learn to fight back.
It’s analogous to football, when a receiver chickens out and drops a pass because he’s afraid of getting hit. What does this do? It encourages defenders to hit him that much harder next time, since they know now that he is a coward and afraid of taking a hit. Also, no defensive player wants to be shown up by a known coward, so they make sure that if nothing else, they beat on the guy with “alligator arms”.
