Republican Senators are acting like this because if they don't secure the duck approval they have no future in politics. Can that really be?

One person really wields that much power to make or break Republicans politicians?

Has that ever happened before?

I remember in the olden days of Hollywood if stars didn't kiss Louelle Parsons a** she would relentlessly break them.  She was that powerful. So duck is a girly many version of Louella?

Shocked. I'm shocked.
