How gently and wonderfully the posted article attempts to deliver bad news to "Conservatives." A triumph of lowered expectations!

Forthright opposition to the Democrats would invalidate the entire political life of each of these accommodation artists. After all "going along to get along" has put many millions into their bank accounts.
