That's the reality of the matter. It's the reason that comparisons to the Watergate era are not valid.

These guys know they'll be primaried and they'll be out of a job. It won't end there. They would be targeted and attacked once out of office. That is the reality of the social media era and the Republican party. Nobility has to be weighed in relation to impact on their lives and therefore the lives of their family members.

Somehow the situational influence is never considered around here
