For those worried about the Dems pushing their agenda through in a lame duck session, how cooperative do you think these ones they cut loose are gonna be?
Democrats “cut loose” might go ahead and cooperate during the lame duck session if they have good reason to expect they will be rewarded new positions controlled by the party/administration or by its core supporters/supporting organizations after their term is over.
Tat was my first thought.They waked the plank for Nancy and now when they need them the most the money will dry up?Not a great way to gain yes votes.
I think they’ll be plenty cooperative.
Pelosi is telling them “so, okay, you’re going to lose your seat, but if you do what I say until your term is up, you’ll find yourself in a very nice, secure and lucrative appointment or job that I and the party bigs will make sure is all yours.”
There will be even more incentive to give Pelosi everything she wants! Those who are losing their congressional seats (jobs) will be very keen to avoid Nancy’s “you’ll never work in this town again” list and to get in line for her post-House “soft landing” list.
Ref. you Post #17: Very good point!!! Thanks.
