GOP may not win Senate if the outrage over their shenanigans cause a backlash

I wonder whether the GOPelites even care. As long as they get to keep their cushy status quo, they seem content even being the Senate minority. That is why they fight so hard to keep the same ole incumbents.

They seem to prefer it. The GOP was out of power for decades, and when they got it back, they didn't know how to handle it, and they grew the federal government. That is, actions didn't match rhetoric. There are a very small number of good ones in there now, and the good ones might want to stay away, lest they be blamed when the house of cards comes tumblin' down.
