Which brings us to 4.) Personal and political cowardice: these people are chickenshit.

Yes. They think, or realize, that doing so will likely end their chance at a meaningful position in the future Republican Party. Their personal gain is more important than the future of the country, apparently.

I live in bright red Tennessee. The son of a neighbor recently ran for City Council as a Republican, and although his (local) positions match perfectly with the local Republican Party, he committed the sin of once working for Bernie Sanders. The opposition made much of this, and he was defeated (and a Democrat won.)

I’m not unhappy with the result, but totally cognizant that these people will self destruct rather than do the right thing.
