Perhaps I am blind to when we "didn't follow the rules" but if the McConnell move wasn't enough, then we had Tea Party antics that continued, then 4 years (seemed longer than that) of Trump - yet it felt like we still thought it was more important to follow Marquess of Queensbury Rules than to win. I thought we learned about that to finally beat the British in the 1780's.
