They'll " teach 'em ", by helping someone far worse get elected and then whinge about how rotten, the person they helped is. But then, they have " principles " don'tcha know, " vaunted prihnciples " about cutting off their collective noses to spit their collective faces and to hell with everyone else. Which is better: to have the Senate split 45/0/55 [pro-gun Rep/anti-gun Rep/Anti-gun Dem] or 30/40/30? In the latter case the Republicans have a sizable majority, while in the former they're in the minority; nonetheless I would feel my liberties were more secure in the former case than the latter.
And if the former, then guess what ... you'd get zero, nada, bupkiss of what else you want; or do you ONLY care about one kind of ammo, which is what the current broohaha, is about .
Cutting off your nose, over ONE thing, means that you get nowhere. With a minority,who do you think sets the agaenda ? I'll help ya out here ... it isn't " our " side.
