This Van Drew party-switching is creepy

[thegoose]

Let's hope it's not the beginning of a trend. He met with Dump on Friday and decided to switch? Hmm...was he offered Russkie payola?

1. Not creepy in the least. Someone has water in his bowels. He'll be successfully primaried by the GOP

And a Democrat will pick up his seat back up in Nov.

No problems.

2. Shortly after trump was put in office,

he tried to get all of the senators to come to his office. He wanted them all to come over in a pair of buses that he was sending over. It was weird that he was insisting that they come over in the bus. I was worried that he was going to try and give them some kind of mind control drug as a spray in the enclosed area. Back in the day there were books about the CIA using micro-doses of LSD in order to gain compliance of operatives. I have no proof of course it is just a theory. Several of the Democratic senators refused and it all fell apart.

3. It's a nonsensical move on his part

This Dope will fail moving forward. He looks to be an acceptable dogwarden, maybe?

4. I'm betting

he has always been a rethug, they've been playing bait and switch for quite awhile. Part of their insidious plan.

5. yeah...there's probably going to be..

a lot more of that. If the Republican label can't get you elected, run as a Dem.

6. New Jersey Republicans not interested in party-jumping Jeff Van Drew as their candidate in 2020

It appears that Van Drew will not be the GOP nominee automatically if he switches parties. Even with trump's support, there is a very good chance that this idiot will lose in the GOP primary where there are already a number of long time republicans running.

Democratic lawmaker Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ) is not being welcomed with open arms by Republicans in his district after word got out that he is planning on switching parties following lobbying from President Donald Trump.

With polling in his district showing he was facing an uphill climb for re-election the Democrat, who is considered fairly conservative and has opposed the impeachment of Trump, is expected to announce the switch soon with reports stating he has already informed his staffers of the imminent move.....

“Van Drew’s political conversion doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be the GOP nominee. Three Republicans had already declared their candidacies for his seat. And while Trump’s backing would be politically potent, it would have to overcome hard GOP feelings from decades of tough election battles against Van Drew.”

One Republican vying for Van Drew’s seat wasted no time attacking the party-switcher, saying the lawmaker is “trying to use South Jersey Republicans to cling onto his power.”

7. It's not creepy...it's nakedly stupidly political. He's sticking around long enough to vote no as a

Dem then plans to switch parties. He can switch right the fuck now IMO.....what an extra skank voting no as a Dem then appearing with dump for the big announcement the next day. Making sure to give the pukes talking points. YUCK....he can go NOW.
