I think the pressure is coming from the GOPe side, more so than the Democrats. Because this is not being pushed exclusively by the Democrats. The Gope, in my opinion, is the Democrat assistant function of the Uni-party. That would explain why so many neo-cons who were Democrat supporters migrated to the Republican Party. To give the impression that the Republican Party had gained support. The neo-cons are deceivers, who never left the Democrat Part at all.
They used to be known as “Scoop Jackson Democrats”.
Possibly. They ARE after all the lickspittle loyal, but-not-too-vocal opposition. They are completely content with second-tier power and the table scrap leavings the Democrats deign to give them and their compliant states/voters.
They LOVE DC and environs. They LOVE attention from MSM when they obey. The LOVE the parties, social scene and the feeling of being a member of the world’s best country clubs. They love it so much, they’ll do ANYTHING to keep from leaving and to go back home. One example of how they got the Turtle to toe-the-line was giving Kentucky $4.5 billion in target piss-away money one budget year.
