But the fear of being replaced only applies within the party. If a Republican senator gets 20 000 messages from democrats saying, ‘Don’t do this!’, where’s the fear? These people weren’t exactly queuing up to vote for a Republican anyway.
It reminds me of a friend who once told me she was boycotting ivory to help save the elephants. I asked her how much ivory she normally bought in a year. She said, ‘None.’
