From the New York Times, it appears Dem Representative Van Drew from NJ is getting ready to flip to the Republican party.
Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, a moderate Democrat who is among his party’s staunchest opponents of impeaching President Trump, is considering switching parties and could make an announcement as soon as next week, just as the House is casting its historic votes on articles of impeachment.
Mr. Van Drew has had discussions with senior Trump advisers about securing the president’s support for his switch, a blessing that could help him avert a primary challenge next year in what would be his new party, according to two Democrats and one Republican…
Conversations between Mr. Van Drew and top advisers to Mr. Trump intensified late last week, according to a Republican familiar with the discussions, with the New Jersey freshman making clear he was nervous about losing his seat, either in a Democratic primary or the general election.
So he would rather flip and attack our democracy than lose his seat. I don’t want people like that in the Democratic party, that’s not who we are, or who we should be. We better take a hard look at some of the Dems who’ve been fighting action on impeachment. If you can’t vote for this impeachment, resign your seat. Oh wait, the reason you won’t vote for the impeachment is because you’re such a coward that you’ll do anything to keep a big ego because you’re in the Congress.
Just the fact that this leaked is probably pretty much enough to keep him from winning as a Democrat, and given the way the Republican cult is brainwashed to hate every Democrat, he might have a hard time running as a Republican. Of course if dear leader says it’s ok to like him, the Republican cult will immediately switch to liking him.
You have to believe that there is going to be a boat load of Democrats who can’t wait to run against him when he runs as a Republican.
Sorry, but any A$$hole that would even consider switching to the GOP fascist cult that is attacking our democracy and fighting for authoritarianism with the support of Putin, has no place at all in the Democratic party. He belongs in the Republican cult, good riddance and I don’t care if the door hits him in the ass on the way out.
UPDATE: It looks like it’s pretty much a done deal:
RESIST!
