Its really up to their respective constituents to decide. The "party" cant clean house.
And, if I had a Senator, I would expect that person to vote what he/she believes is in the best interest of constituents and the country, and not be an automaton who unquestionable "tows the party line".
Whatever their individual reasons (political expediency, self preservation, interest of constituents, good of the country, vote of conscience ...), IMO, Democrats are more willing to buck their leader than Republicans.
