from the linked article

“How long it goes is going to be instructive because the point of this is exhausting Democrats, the point of it is pain, the point of it is forcing a public and political process and seeing what comes out of it,” said a Republican strategist who favors a showdown with Democrats over the legislation.

“Debating a bill that continues to get more popular even as people are trying to slow it down and stop it and obstruct it sometimes sharpens the minds of individual lawmakers and makes them more amenable in the end to negotiation,” Lee added. “That’s what we’re looking at here.”

They seriously think that forcing them to debate will cause Democrats to change their minds? How stupid can they be? The longer this goes on, the more the Democrats will dig in. This will just make the Republicans look even more stupid than they already do.

They think the bill is popular when it clearly is not. Requiring voter ID is popular. If the bill only did that, it would pass. Everything else about the bill is not at all popular. The longer they drag out debate, the more opportunity for Democrats to inform the public why it's a terrible bill. The longer this drags on, the more UNpopular the bill will become. This will blow up in the Republicans' faces.
