I am no more correct than anyone else in offering this opinion. But personally, I don't see them doing this. This is more of a "get the fuck in line, and don't get in my way; otherwise, look what I'll do." Additionally, what is our immediate reaction to this? We need to take back the house and senate. Which means we need to start supporting Republicans. RINOs have been playing the "you better give us money, vote for us, and give us public support, otherwise look at what the baddie bad democrats are gonna do" card for the last few decades. They currently are being choked out because we are fucking righteously outraged at them. Most logically, to me, this is trying to scare us back on board the mitch/mitt train.
