We need not do anything: the stunt will backfire on the Republicans. This just shows how desperate they are. The consequences of their actions are:

=alienate indepenents

=show they are incapable of governing

=give another "litmus test" for their presidential candidates: the candidates have to stand behind the letter or be considered rhinos.

Democrats can not "punish" them. Just let them swing in the wind. They are self-destructing.
