That tactic is to get your enemies to fight amongst themselves - weakening each other so that the bystander can come by and compete against weakened enemies.
Were students going to vote Republican? How about women? Both are almost hopelessly lost to the Democrats.
It struck me that the goal might have been to try and get woman and students arguing against each other. The fly in the ointment was the funding mechanisms. By showing their "true colors" in objecting to "taxing the rich" they run the risk of looking more like puppets of an oligarchy.

Not sure I understand what you are saying. Harry Reid knows they will come to a compromise....HE KNOWS THAT....check on his vote on this bill.
Problem is that the Democrats FORCED a vote that was not even necessary.
Thus I do not understand what you are talking about. The Democrats picked a funding source that they knew would make the Republicans look bad and then FORCED a vote. AND YOU are saying the Republicans played a game....please explain...they have NO power to play any game in the senate.
This was a one way political game. The dems picked the funding, then forced a vote...ONE intent...ONE....try to make a negative ad from it.
