don't give up hope.

When this crap was done here in Michigan last year, it resulted in the quisling turncoat being not just voted out, but booted out with two feet. The Democrats were solidly behind his challenger, and the Republicans didn't even want him anymore and didn't fund his campaign.

Don't take it quiety. Organize and mobilize. Even some Republicans hate these kinds of games - I heard a lot of that when it happened here.

This sh*t is just revolting. I'm so sorry you're going through it.
