Having Conversations v.

The Swamp takes a paternalistic approach to interactions with conservative members.

When they indicate the need to “have a conversation” what they mean is a lecture, employing the full power of the glossary, to put conservatives in their place. They also "have conversations" in order to stall for time so they can undermine the conservative agenda.

As in, “We're currently having conversations with our members. Now is not the right time to do [insert conservative policy priority].”
