| 7. Use an analogy to a football game |

If we have the ball and it's 4th and 1.
We should go for it! Everybody wants to go for it. But look, the ball is on our own 10 yard line. If we don't make it we're screwed, the other team will have the ball and they'll ram it down our throat.
My point is that in football the coach has to make strategic decisions. The popular play is "go for it" but that's not the smart play.
Strategy and realism. We'll never see 41 Senators support a filibuster and if we call this play it'll weaken us when the time comes to use this play.
