“dems have some in the Senate who aren’t dedicated marxists, and they want to get re-elected. So, maybe it’s a wash....”
Agreed. There may be enough “blue dog” democrats around yet that won’t be able to bring themselves completely over to the dark side for fear of voter retribution.
An interesting dynamic could be potentially happening here. It’s possible that the four levels of layering in congress, namely the extreme left, the moderate or blue dog dems, the RINOs and the true conservative Republicans will create a “quadri-partisan” congress that could result in one of two things....a good system of checks and balances, or a congress that will be totally gridlocked, depending on the numbers in the sub-groups.
In theory, anyway!

retribution = retaliation
