They are SO accustomed to second-tier power and their quisling “loyal, but-but-not-too-vocal opposition” it isn’t funny.
They’d RATHER piss off their constituents than have to deal with an unfriendly leftist crowd at all the DC galas, dinner parties, socials and other functions they build their existence around.
Yeah, someone might call them “racis’”. WTF ever happened to “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me!”? Looks like these days some folks would rather be stoned and sticked rather than be called names.
It’s because they fear their donors more than they fear their voters that’s why they like to blather about their principles to hide their graft as they sell you out.
