11. The Progressive Caucus here was threatened with "disqualification" or something like that, down here

if they persisted in backing Grayson.

Here's the thing - no matter what Grayson does in his personal life, he is progressive and votes with the Democrats. Murphy turned Dem in 2012 just in order to run against another GOP person. He voted with the GOP more often than with the Dems, is a member of the Third Way-advised new Democrat Coalition, and voted yes on establishing the Benghazi committee. He is a DINO, and BFFs with Debbie and Hillary.

I have to live with the legislation that gets passed, I don't have to live with Grayson.

And condemning someone for being wealthy and using their political connections and hedge fund stuff is pretty fucking hypocritical.....

I will be voting for Grayson. Will NOT vote for Murphy. Funnily enough, Debbie has backed GOP buddies against fellow Dems when it suits her - but never gets called on it.
