Democratic Congressional Legend Jeff Van Drew to Switch Parties to Republican

Congressman Jeff Van Drew, Dem from NJ, his claim to fame / infamy, whichever applies, is that

he has become the Christine Jorgensen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen, of American politics​

 

Let me guess, he's up for reelection in a red district?

 

Although inconsequential either way, I foresee several Democrat frosh switching to the Republican party in 2020 to save themselves. The new communists (I know, they prefer the term socialists) have tilted the party so far left that run of the mill citizens will vote Republican (or at least that is feedback I am getting from the "trenches."

 

Yep, he met with Trump and made a deal to switch parties as long as he wouldn't get challenged in the primary.

 

Its the House. everyone is up for reelection. Its not really a red district:

Can you find me the candidate that wants to eliminate private property?

 

Umm the district voted for Trump?

Gee a politician who is against impeachment for a president that won his district. Shocker.

If Jeff Van Gundy and Lakers/Cavs coaching legend Larry Drew had a baby, it would be Jeff Van Drew.

You can have him rethugs.

How can the Democrats survive?

 

on the other end of the spectrum,

U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, a swing district in Mi, will vote this week to impeach President Donald Trump,
a move she acknowledges could end her short political career.

​

In an opinion piece published in the Detroit Free Press Monday morning, Slotkin said her decision is based on her research of the evidence and training as a CIA officer.

"In the national security world that I come from, we are trained to make hard calls on things, even if they are unpopular, if we believe the security of the country is at stake," she wrote. "There are some decisions in life that have to be made based on what you know in your bones is right. And this is one of those times."

Slotkin, who was one of 31 Democrats to flip Republican seats to the Democratic side in congressional districts that Trump won in 2016, said she read and re-read the transcripts of the impeachment proceedings, looked at articles of impeachment that were drafted during the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton and referred back to the U.S. Constitution, Federalist Papers and the book of "House Practices," the guide to the rules and procedures given to every member of Congress.​

 

trump and the trumpublicans are right now trying to seize private property on the texas border for their stupid, cost-prohibitive, ineffective wall.

 

technically that's not how eminent domain works

 

Politically, I think it's better for the Democrats that he leaves the party altogether than if he stays and votes against impeachment.

 

is the trump administration actively trying to seize private property on the texas border so they can build his wall? yes or no?

 

I’m sure Lindsey Graham will approach it in the exact same manner.
