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.
They love the power along with their ability to enrichment themselves at the expense of the labor of others who fill the coffers they have access to.
