[Political Junkie Too]

Nancy is having trouble keeping her side together the way the republicans did the past 6 years, so she has to deny the opportunity for her democrats to vote with republicans on anything.

So this is about bringing in line all those conservative Democrats who ran against Republicans to fool the voters in the last election.

Now that the Democrats have these conservatives in their fold, they're strong-arming them into compliance?

Yes, that is correct — a means to bring the conservative RATS into compliance without endangering them politically by having to cast votes on unpopular tax and spend policies.

If the constituents in these swing districts can be informed about this, the conservative RATS might just be forced to vote AGAINST the rule change, thus handing Fancy Nancy another stunning defeat.
