“””10. Enough Republicans are on the list that it could put at risk the party’s Congressional majority.”””
If so, it would have already been used.
MAYBE - but when the Democrats are likely every-bit as implicated, maybe not. BUT - if the major powers are crushed... it would be a massive setback for BOTH parties - with whichever party has the better propaganda spin factory coming out ahead.
Not if big players in the Dems end up at risk of themselves being caught in the fire once the mutually beneficial (for those in power) ceasefire is broken. Big players in the DNC are likely implicated, just as powerful people across either aisle are.
