i halfway agree. in most articles I've read about it, the balance of the Senate is not the main focus. I'm not crude enough to be thinking about Senate balance before the Senator's well-being, but....in all honesty though -- play out this scenario.
someone plants a bomb in a small business owner's only business and threatens to blow it up while three of the owner's employees are inside.
does it not change the fact that the business could be blown to pieces? would the owner be "scum" for letting that thought come out of his mouth -- what might happen to my business? Even when people's lives are at stake? I would find that completely normal.
bad news in the present does not negate the reality of the future.
