3. I do not think is their worry about "being defeated" as much as not being in office when it all hits the fan.

I believe they feel if they are not in office then they can still get CEO and executive type pay somewhere else. History does not look favorably at the people who created a national failure after the fact. People are finally starting to realize that we as a nation has a big problem right now and it was not Obamas or Biden or even Clintons fault.I feel it goes back to Reagan and his wonderful "Create the billionaires" tax cut.
