Not necessarily. The others may not be able to take the heat, being up for committee placements and such... Only the ones that can play hardball are playing hardball.
Like Rosendale - I guarantee he is getting standing ovations here in the state.
He not only can afford to take a hit, he is actually laying down big-time Conservative creds and staking em in with a 9 pound jack. This is making him golden.
Well, then the ones that think they can't play hardball aren't that devoted imho. The ones standing up face just as much retribution.
I think Rosendale was the guy who made the speech I liked so much. Good for Montana!
I've already said what I think should happen, so I won't repeat. I'm a lot of things, but I'm not a nag.
The optics shouldn't matter, but they do to a lot of people. But of course most people aren't watching this.
