Yes, that's possible. It's also possible that since they are the 'line' between us (citizens) and a potential totalitarian coup by liberal 'elites' that they are also in danger.

We don't need a $4 tril federal budget, and we don't need to raise the debt ceiling! We are being ripped off enormously, and those becoming more rich and more powerful will fight to continue as carpetbaggers in power. We are in deep doodoo - and as long as the voters continue to vote to increase govt largess, we will continue to flirt with collapse. The carpetbagger politicians are seducing and scamming the people very well.
