Absolutely. As a leader in my business, I simply don't always use the carrot. Imagine me having to beg my employees to be competent and do their jobs properly. I use carrots when my employees do something extraordinary. I don't use carrots when they are merely just doing their job. I use a stick when they aren't doing their jobs. Carrots for doing great things. Sticks for doing bad things. It works.

The Dems used carrots to get these Senators stop doing bad things. That's like broadcasting weakness. So those Senators smelled the weakness and abused the majority of Dems even more. Then smelling internal dissension, the GOP went on the attack and made it even worse.

As I said, you can't be a leader and use nothing but carrots. If you do, you won't be a leader for long. You need to earn respect. Respect is usually a combination of love and fear.
