Because the conservative movement has become a political beggar for Russia’s good graces.

Blue dog Dems hijacked the party during Clinton taking us to the right and enabling the Republican platform including trickle down economics driving unfunded tax cuts for the rich!

The DNC already has too many DINO’s…which weakens the party and enhances the McConnell way.

He better not be a Republican plant…like W. Virginia’s Joe Manchin!

Is he protected under Endangered Species laws?

Should we stuff him and put him on display in the Smithsonian?

According to the article, he’s already voting against the GOP, so there’s that.

Actually it isn’t one. There have been a bunch of switches in the last couple of years. In Texas a bunch of judges switched which told me they expected a heavy Democratic vote in 2018.

And there were a number of lawmakers who switched in the last couple of year. I wish someone had a full count.

He’s from northeastern Iowa (Anamosa) which is a blue part of the state; Abby Finkenhauer represents the district in the US Congress. Steve King represents northwestern Iowa.

Yeah, I know, I was just pointing out that he still has the vast, vast majority of his wacko party on his side.

O he does and I wasn’t really trying to step on your comment.

Just wanted you to know if you didn’t that there had been quite a few really who switched so far. I really love it. It’s just too bad that it means he’s got the remainder and they are very determined.
