Let the process play out phrase
A common plea made by a Swamp member when they realize that conservatives have outmaneuvered them. The process or the "procedure" is the method by which conservative policies die, so letting the process play out assures the Uniparty will win. In a moment of candor, Democrat Rep. John Dingell was right when he said, "If I let you write the substance and you let me write the procedure, I’ll screw you every time.”
