    …if nothing else, they MIGHT be concerned about losing me if they go too far too fast to the right…

    Why would they think this? You’ve openly stated that you will vote for them no matter what. They don’t need to care about you, because you’ve already given up the negotiation.

    Imagine you went to your boss and said: “Hey, no matter the outcome of this conversation, I’m gonna keep working here until the day I die. I will support you no matter what. Now, lets talk about giving me a raise.”

    Do you think you are gonna get that raise?

      No, I said I will vote for them while they are the lesser of two evils and while no one else stands a chance. If they shoot to the right, a d become functionally indistinguishable from the GOP, or if a viable and better alternative presents itself, I’m gone.
