      Well, yeah…

      The only chance an unpopular neoliberal has of being president, is the threat that they’re the only other option to Republicans.

      Otherwise they’d never get any votes.

      So neoliberals want Republicans to be the biggest threat possible.

      The context for that quote was a 2011 interview. The Obama administration was having trouble working with the Republicans because the Tea Party movement had gotten a lot of firebrands elected where working together with Democrats to effectively govern was unthinkable. The Republican House leadership since then has been weak, which has led to multiple government shutdowns.
