Lemme get this straight. This clown is in a majority democratic district and he plans to switch to the GOP?

How, exactly does the switch buy him anything?

But please proceed, DINO.

Gee, wonder if the folks who voted for him might think differently in the next election?

The poor dullard doesn’t realize GOP politicians are fleeing the burning building, not fighting their way in.

From the article:

"The Washington Post first reported Saturday that Van Drew had → met with Donald Trump ← at the White House on Friday."

So Donnie has promised him something, and sadly this bozo thinks Donnie will pay his debts. Bwaahaaahaaahaaa!

As me ole dad used to say: “The intelligence of the world is constant, the population is increasing - do the math.”

van Drew is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the DCCC’s approach to candidate recruitment.

Sure, the district voted for Trump in 2016 – but only by 4 points – and has supported obama in 2008 and 2012. There was no need to go full bore far-right Democrat to win the seat, but the DCCC wanted it, got it, and now he’s gonna bolt!

pure genius.

Maybe he was told there is a nice Ambassadorship waiting for him.

its a “mixed” district. Local politics are relentlessly republican. but the district went for Obama twice - then for Trump, but only by 4 points.

So this guy thinks Fat Donnie will do him a favor? He should be asking himself “do you feel lucky, punk?”

Yup, some sort of grift if he doesn’t win reelection seems to be in play, or he’s just a raging White Supremacist caught up in the cult. He’s definitely going weird here…

How much did it cost Trump to buy his vote?

Nothing, Donnie never pays his debts.

If he switches, he won’t get the nomination because they have actual republicans who will be running, and if he doesn’t switch, he won’t get the nomination because the Democrats won’t like him. So his choice is either vote for impeachment or spend more time with his family.

He will be front and center at the next Nuremberg rally wearing a MAGA hat.

Useless idiot. Dude has been on Faux News constantly and is their favorite citation for impeachment not being bipartisan. He belongs in a dumpster. Literally.
