My vote is truly my business. Your choice soon will be party or country. My, Republicans were this stubborn too, in 1973 and 2003. Your choice will be stark and for that I feel sorry for you. It will be painful. But this is not going away.

If the IG report was a slap in the hand, it was not, you might have a point. It was't.

On the bright side, people who I talk to, some democrats higher than you in pay grade were shaken by this report. People who do make those decisions are starting to realize this is very serious. It took the party elder statesmen to get Nixon to concede. Am afraid that conversation will come.

And my, you and me as voters have nothing to do with this decision. This is at a very different level, assuming the party does not want to commit suicide. If they do, by all means, pick up that gun. None will stop you, but we will not take the blame for the damage either. It will be completely on your party.
