Paycheck above principles nilram Dec 2019 #1

OR he could do the right thing. Yeah it's best he switch parties since doing the wrong thing UniteFightBack Dec 2019 #2

He should probably take advantage of that great Congressional health plan. bluedigger Dec 2019 #3

Bye, Felicia. Please do it before the impeachment vote StarfishSaver Dec 2019 #4

President John F Kennedy's Profiles in Courage. Dennis Donovan Dec 2019 #5

What if he's just the first? pintobean Dec 2019 #6

He already voted against impeachment inquiry last month. scheming daemons Dec 2019 #13

He is representing his district. pintobean Dec 2019 #19

He is going to lose in the Primary as a Dem, or lose in the general as a Republican scheming daemons Dec 2019 #21

This is who Van Drew is: scheming daemons Dec 2019 #22

He's not a Dem anyhow. What an imposter Evolve Dammit Dec 2019 #37

Its not much of a flip if he is willing to add aiding and abetting to his resume by supporting cstanleytech Dec 2019 #97

Look at the poll in the OP that was taken in his district scheming daemons Dec 2019 #16

Let's hope Manchin in the Senate doesn't switch Polybius Dec 2019 #20

I've even seen that advocated. pintobean Dec 2019 #26

Manchin is a true conservative democrat. He is ok with most of our platform. Blue_true Dec 2019 #70

"simple" being the operative word... Dennis Donovan Dec 2019 #88

Not really as even with him in the Senate there is almost no way to get the needed votes to cstanleytech Dec 2019 #99

It is not DU's problem JonLP24 Dec 2019 #62

If others follow his lead, we work to defeat them, simple as that. nt Blue_true Dec 2019 #68

So he's going to run as a Republican in a district that leans D? pecosbob Dec 2019 #7

The district doesn't "lean D". onenote Dec 2019 #8

It's not a Lean R district, either. It's a toss-up district which will likely vote D in Nov. 2020. LonePirate Dec 2019 #10

It was a likely D district in 2020 because it had a D incumbent. onenote Dec 2019 #12

I had read that he won by eight percentage points and assumed the district leaned D...apologies. pecosbob Dec 2019 #14

The Repub Van Drew was running against made racist comments and the GOP pulled their support. octoberlib Dec 2019 #25

Very good point. n/t MarcA Dec 2019 #31

It is a swing district. That means that we can defeat Van Drew in 2020. Blue_true Dec 2019 #71

We don't need him or the seat. If we bow to "politics" in this, then we're NO better than the Repigs Dennis Donovan Dec 2019 #89

Good riddance. crickets Dec 2019 #9

The NYT article says he represents a pro-Trump district, so, octoberlib Dec 2019 #11
