N.J. Democratic Rep gets drugged, has a stroke, goes insane:

[lambchopp59]

Only obvious explanations I can confabulate for why in creation New Jersey Rep Rep. Jeff Van Drew has decided to become a Republican. News has it he had a recent meeting with the Orangeturd at the White House, the most likely scene where LSD got dropped in his tea, or his beautiful piece of chocolate cake. Surely even a relatively unpopular Blue Dog Democrat would never abandon all sound judgement otherwise, right?
Right out the twilight zone, behold:

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a first-term Blue Dog Democrat who represents a swing district in southern New Jersey, intends to change parties after some of Van Drew's internal polling showed that he was becoming increasingly unpopular in his purple district, according to a senior Democratic aide.

10. That dumbass doesn't know

The whole switching parties thing isn't going to work in this day and age. He's permanently tarred with being a Democrat and will get primaried out in his next election. And good riddance to bad trash.
