I direct your attention to the "Gang of 8" which is also a minority. Yet that gang of 8 manages to control what the rest of the Republican Senators do. Do you know how? They vote with the Democrats often enough to make the rest understand that they better cater to that "gang of 8".
This is historically how a small force can leverage it's position. It sits in the middle and decides what is going to happen by throwing it's weight one way or the other.
If we let McConnell get away with what he has done, then we have no weight, and we will never have any. We can take our small weight, and throw it to the Democrat, and the lesson will be grasped. "Piss us off and we will end you."

I’ve no doubt that if the democrats needed a few votes to pass Obamacare “Maverick” McCain and his “Gang of Eight” would have come to the rescue.
They don’t represent us. They think they own us. They do if you let them.
