I don’t think you understand how the “political frat brothers” think and how they have their noses up the asses of anyone who may boost their political career while ignoring their real job of representing the voters who put them there.
THEY WON’T SWITCH PARTIES because come the next election, if things did not go right, they won’t be let back into the “frat house”.
