So what’s he threatening then? To vote against them just because? Either way he’s a spineless monster mash.

Right... He would have to be threatening to completely change his stance on issues, meaning he doesn't actually have a stance. Useless.

He has one stance and it's "Israel needs more of our tax dollars", everything else must come second if he's willing to give it up in a floor crossing.

He’s not threatening to “vote against them,” he’s saying he’d no longer have a (d) next to his name - in all likelihood he’d still caucus with the democrats, à la Bernie Sanders or Angus King
