Voting them out, legitimately, seems to set them off more than the fear of death or conviction. I mean, Tom Daschole had a mental break down (confirmed) as well as therapy for Eric Cantor. They just cant imagine being voted against once they get in power. It crushes them forever....which is the worse case scenario to a politician.
Look at what happened to Hellary after being beaten the woman WILL NEVER get over it NEVER!!!!
