Frightened with false fire?
Pulling out of governor's race is one thing. But Democrats can survive this easy. Why would he resign?
To: janetjanet998
He’s such a disgusting human.

So, why are the Democrats sacrificing this pawn? It's definitely not due to true moral outrage. What are they up to?

He actually says “I PLAN to resign, which is even more indefinite.

The Democrats went on overkill. They were just supposed to get him off the jungle primary for governor to save the seat for the Dems. Now they might have a vacant seat in an ultra close House. I wonder if this is his revenge rather than what the party wanted.

Yep. How much do you want to bet he doesn’t resign to Commiefornia when he resigns 20 years from now? He doesn’t even live here now.

Can one of the other candidates for Governor now be convinced to run for congress and kill 2 birds with one stone? This is the way they think. It’s an opportunity to win in their eyes.
To: janetjanet998
Good. I knew the feckless, ball-less Republicans weren’t going to do anything to him.

Wouldn’t his staff be immediately terminated? There’s no serving the district in Eric’s absence.
