And I certainly have many Republicans who will say to me, “I can’t be public.” They do worry about a whole range of things, including violence. And I would just remind people: If you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody. And there will be millions of Republicans who do that on Nov. 5.
