8. That's easy for them to say now, after the fact

But why trust them?

Maybe they’re just fine with the vote, so long as the 8 are taking the blame?

Maybe they played a role in the whole thing right from the start, identifying and convincing 8 senators (not facing reelection anytime soon) to be cast as the scapegoats?

I don’t know. But I can easily imagine that scenario. More easily than I can summon trust for “Third Way”-ism.
