he STILL has leverage......with the Democrats ("Give me a chairmanship" if you want to keep me" or something like that). I guess it would be a question of which party he wants in power more, but most people (I think) would rather be part of the majority and why would he, a Democrat, want to switch to the GOP to put them BACK in power. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean, what stopped him from switching in 2014 or 2016 if he really wanted to be part of the GOP and they won the majority in both elections? He may vote the Republicans sometimes, but he still votes mainly with the Democrats and he doesn't seem particularly motivated to switch sides. There have been more fortuitous opportunities for him to switch in the recent past and he obviously must have some attachment to staying as a member of the Democratic Party.
