“Or maybe they just said “I’m going to get stabbed. I’d rather be stabbed in the chest by The Won than in the back by Romney”.”

You are making assertions not supported by the facts in evidence.
Blindly voting for progressive Republicans just because they’re Republican won’t get us out of the mess we’re in.
How would things be different if John McCain had won in 2008? Remember - when McCain “reaches across the aisle”, he’s reaching to Republicans.
