The local folks who like to play with the big boys will do what they’re told. Then during golf with friends they can say things like “Congressman Ryan called the other day and wants my wife and I to have dinner with them the next time we’re in D.C.” or “Reince called last night and thanked me for all the support I’ve given to the republican party”.
First of all, Ryan had no idea who he was talking to IF he even called. And the guy didn’t say that Reince’s “call” was a recording asking for more financial support.
Like I said, they’ll vote the way they’re told to vote so they can believe they’re important.
Selling their souls, in other words, for the illusion of recognition.
