(1,511 posts)I have seen so many of them take a stance and then drop it the second election season comes around only to get voted out. I recall in almost every mid-term that Dems were in power they either failed to pass bills because they were afraid to lose their seats or they tried to wait until after to vote to avoid being called liberals but also to hold the liberals hostage to vote for them.

This one was on the Obama fight where he was dealing with that issue.
I think if they are afraid to lose their jobs (if they have competition from with in more than from across the isle) they will switch, but if they are in a safe seat they are already bought and paid for by the Hillary victory fund scam.
