Yeah, more votes for Democrats would lead Republicans to believe they need to keep moving left to gain votes.
I won’t vote for Cornyn, so it’ll either be third party or left blank.
I'm with you. As to last night's results, consider this:
Would there be a House Select Committee on Benghazi without the Tea Party?
Amnesty would be the "law of the land" without the Tea Party. That's why immigration reform will not come until after November's elections. It may not come then, either, depending on the size of the Republican onslaught in November.
GOPe knows their hold on power is tenuous without the Tea Party, that's the base of their party...for now.
