That's exactly what I'm hinting at.

My hypothesis is that this is, in fact, the case.

Maybe the reps aren't thinking this deliberately, but I suppose some in R strategy has realized this. They can tell the reps something simple like "FEMA response is likely to be bad for us in the election," and the reps can be willfully ignorant, refusing to consider the consequences of their inaction.
