for his success in getting Democrats voted out of office because they were too weak on gun control. He was cheered on the whole way by pro-control "Democrats" as they seats flipped to Repub.

Now a year later when it is brought up we get to see the mental gymnastics that are used to self-justify that support. Yet they still cannot ever bring themselves to say "I would rather see a "pro-gun" Democrat hold a Congressional set than have it go to a Republican".

Gun control supporters are single issue voters. They are willing to sacrifice the party platform in an act of spite. Ironically they are making their goal ever more difficult to achieve with their short-sightedness.
