      B) They view themselves as our masters, rather than our employees. Witch I suppose could be one interpretation of what you said. /

      The third choice is the one that I proposed: They'll do whatever it takes to stay in their comfortable DC lives where everyone bows and scrapes and tells them they are important. Which means representing the desires of donor class, not their constituents.

      ...But as someone who covers their campaigns & their votes, I don't often see much difference. As an aside, because of federal donation limits, no single donor has as much power as people think, even tho collectively so much money is raised.

      Here's a simple example: De-funding Planned Parenthood. If you are a R rep, I think it's fair to say that the large majority of the people who voted for you support that in almost all cases. Yet, here we have an R majority in Senate and House, and nada. Despite campaign promises.

      Who opposes de-funding? Democrats. Probably a small minority of their voters, and the abortion industry. Don't you think it fair for those voters to ask why their interests are being ignored in favor of the above groups?

      I think you're wrong to assume that only a small minority of Democratic voters oppose this. 1) It's a huge deal w/ the Democratic base. 2) In the biggest blue states, it's also an issue that resonates.

      No, no. I meant a small number of their (the Republican representative's) voters. Too many "theirs" flying around.

      Got it. I still think my answer explains it. There are simply not enough Republican votes to get it done. So I don't think it's fair to say that Rs aren't delivering on this by choice per se, altho you could ding them I suppose for not making it a bigger priority.

      That's bad politics. If I were a Senator, and I truly believed that PP was wrong and shouldn't be funded, and had campaigned on such, I'd bring the bill to the floor and publicly fight for it tooth and nail, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘐'𝘥 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦. 1/

      At the very least I wouldn't have idiots like me grousing like this. And idiots like me would be more likely to continue to vote for me afterwards. /
