I read that differently. It's saying the people have spoken and the want to try a different direction. If the new Senate caves in to Democrats demands then they are not fulfilling the promises that got them elected. They're saying, pass bills that the people want even though the dem's will block them. Then when re-election is up, they'll be on record as voting against the will of the people.
Keep in mind, every democrat that voted for Obamacare and was up for election was fired. That's what the point of the article was. .
