Why is it that it seem as if the Repubs have no power over their members (Collins, Murky, etc) to force them in line like the Dems do to their members?

Why don't Repubs threaten errant members with no money or support for re-election if they don't toe the Repub line? Not only that, threaten them with embarrassing revaluations, true or not (the media don't care)...

How do you know they don’t?

In fairness to the RINOs, they are still FAR, FAR, BETTER than the Democrats who would replace them (particularly on judges, where they support Trump 98% of the time). So I don’t blame McConnell for protecting them, at least the ones from purple/blue states.
