Reid needs liberal republicans in the Senate leadership. They are what have enabled his agenda so far with their critical supporting procedural votes. Those votes go un-reported, and a show vote gets taken for the rubes back home.

There are those who are deceitful. I acknowledge that.

At the same time, we have Cruz, Lee, Sessions, McDaniels (hopefully) and other conservative senators.

If the republicans have the Senate, then there’s the chance to have some good things happen with those folks there.

If Reid has the Senate, then nothing good can at least get off the ground in the Senate.

Granted, Obama will have the veto, but that is because we don’t have the presidency, not because of anything the conservative senators have done.
