Their instinct is to protect their own, protect the members of the club. They spend years wearing down senators’ conservatism, co-opting them, as Trent Lott would say.
With a new person they have to start all over again. That’s why they come to the defense of Enzi, Lugar, Specter, Bennett, Murkowski, Stevens, Hatch, etc.
But guaranteed, these same people would have supported a challenge to Jim DeMint for example, or Rand Paul, or Mike Lee. They’d have no problem getting rid of the “divisive ones.”
