    Well, if 20 Republicans crossed the aisle he could be removed from office. I think more likely is we’ll be seeing lots of GOP seats lost in the midterm elections.

      I would sooner bank on 20 Dems leaping to his defense in the name of bipartisanship

            So, your unfounded feelings? You’re basically just a Republican trying to Cope, is that what you came here to say?

              Have you not been paying attention these last decade or so? The Dems have been capitulating at every opportunity.

                In the last decade the DNC have not had more than 50 senators. Not 51, not 52, but exactly 50 or less.

                Thats why. If you want them to do something, give them the power.
