| 33. She didn't have to do BETTER.... |
|
She just had to do HER JOB, and so did Bohner.
It's THEIR JOB to keep the rank and file IN LINE. HOW DARE a couple of little "Frosh" congresscritters pull this bullshit? WHO CARES what someone that low in the ranks thinks?
It is the job of the Party Leadership in Congress to LEAD THE PARTY, and keep these people IN LINE. This is a two party system, and they needed to be reminded in no uncertain terms what party they belong to.
