What puzzles me is that Republican politicians are on the ropes....and anticipating a possible knock out in the next election............so why do they insist on infuriating the base?

Actually, only 22 Republican Senators voted against the Dorgan Amendment and in favor of letting the Mexican trucks in. Twenty-five Republicans voted in favor of the Amendment and against the trucks. So, a majority still voted with us.

But your point is still a good one. After all, no Democrats voted with us; they heard the people and voted accordingly. What has happened to so many Republicans? I think that too many of them are out of touch with the people, have been in their seats for too long, and have been drinking the globalist kool aid.

Because they can? They know we aren't going to vote for democrats, and so we'll either stay home, vote third party, or vote for RINOs (and believe me, they'll use the threat of a President Hillary or President Obama to try and scare us into voting for them).
