Should Hagel leave the Republican Party?

...after the way they have treated him? It seems to me that it is John McCain and Lindsey Graham that are leading the negative, threatening hostilities that are poisoning the atmosphere in Washington. This is just my opinion but I have a feeling it is correct?

A bigger question might be: Should he join the Democratic Party? He does seem to be more welcome in the Democratic Party?

First off, SoD is a non political office. Secondly, he is NOT a Democrat. We DO NOT need more fucking Republicans in our party. We do not need to go further down the fucking road to becoming the party of Reagan.

Goddamnit! He should have never been nominated in the first place. We won the election, not them. We should have a Democrat in that spot.

No. Just no.

Clinton had a Republican as his SoD = by the name of William Cohen (I believe)
