Did they promise him re-election forever?
Uh….voting them out would mean fixing the rigged election system first. They will avoid that at all costs.
Example:

Wasn't Grassley allegedly on Maduro's list of congress people getting money from him? Does he stand to be exposed if the SAVE Act passes? Grassley has done some good things and some so not good. Are his farming interests swimming in debt like other family farms?
If these Republicans keep upholding keeping the filibuster, even if light of the fact the Dems will nuke it to get what they want, what happens to his "robust debate?" He expects them to respond in kind? Is his successor already chosen to win?
