“Do we have 2 years left?”
Not if they join the Democrats. But they also don’t want to spend the rest of their lives as outsiders. The power of being in DC is addictive, that’s why I don’t think they’ll pull this crap...but I can be wrong.
I am sure this is all calculated right down to the excuses. The leadership is playing like they are not that scared, why? Why would you be so blatantly against your constituents and your party's core beliefs if you didn't know what was ahead? It is like spending the banks money when the withdrawl is happening well after it becomes worthless.
