“… the moment it is co-opted by the Republicans, I predict a lot of steam will go out of it.”

Must we assume that this “real history being made” will be co-opted, and that its numbed-down/dumbed-down end is inevitable?

Assuming Mr. Moran’s prediction is correct, then I guess the priority simply becomes this: we will NOT let the Republicans co-opt what is happening.

“Republican leadership” is an oxymoron and “irrelevant” is the default adjective for them. We can make it our business to be sure they remain exactly that–irrelevant.
