No one is perfect....as the party of family values, the republicans are more open to blackmail then Dhimmicrats. The Jackass Party politicians get a boost from the base if they are Druggies, Homo, infidelity and many other slimy characteristics.

Behind door #1 is continued power and respect. Go along to get along and your legacy is secure. Play nice and a $5 mill/year lobbying job awaits.

Behind door #2 is personal and professional doom, misery if not poverty. “They threaten to expose something terrible like an affair, or corruption, or malfeasance, or immorality that would shock the nation, ruin your career, destroy your legacy, cost you your marriage, destroy your relationship with your children and leave you unemployable by any respectable law firm or lobbyist.”
