Perhaps he needs to find an occupation with less decision making responsibilities. I think I'll be a republican now... well we don't want you either... uhhhhhh

You will not be running for reelection as a Democrat. See you in the primary, if you dare try.

Sorry you sold your soul to Trump and the Republicans and now even they don't want you.

#ETTD remember?

This guy had one chance left to save face and he blew when he voted against impeachment. He could've decided to stand with the rest of the party in doing the right thing in impeaching Trump. Instead this guy has flirted with becoming an adversary of the Democratic party which he will still probably due. There is no way Democrats can support this guy in a primary after he voted against impeaching Trump especially after considering becoming a republican before voting against impeaching Trump.
