Kawhi Leonard of politics
Seems like the absolute worst time if the president is truly supposed to be a villain. But this guy left the Dems and even did a press conference with him.
Except as a number. The amount of chest thumping the left did over mid terms merits at least some comments about this defector.
^^^Behold the puny gloating of DMC.
so puny
They should totally gloat about it, it was so overwhelming that even this ‘defector’ doesn’t matter in the least. Frankly, I wish more of the ‘blue dog’ would also exit left.
Dems can say one seat doesn't matter. Fair enough. But this guy's story does do damage.
Trying to coerce him to vote for impeachment, or else have support withheld?
That's eerily similar to the charges against Trump in the impeachment.
He has voted consistently against the party positions in many wedge issues, clearly this was a matter of time. Not the first or last guy to switch sides.
Obviously, it would’ve been much more complicated if the House had a slim majority. Not the case here.
Well, one seat is not likely to make a big difference except possibly on a committee level somewhere, sometime; even then.
But like I said, his story just contributes to the Democrats' demise.
Don't worry though. Repubs are soulless. They always give it back rather quickly.
I think it would be alarming if this guy was somehow a major progressive, even center.
I think that's a convenient outlook.
It's the progressives who said they'd withhold support if he didn't vote for impeachment.
Doing what they're accusing the president of doing
Damning
Dumbocrats
Same president that said he wouldn’t support the GOP nominee if it wasn’t him?
We can pick and choose about team blue and red all day. This is what partisan politics look like and it never looked good.
This is desperate, tbh.
Blue team doing what they're accusing red team of doing / impeaching for. SOP at this point.
It’s true too
I’m not even sure you understand what the POTUS is being impeached for. This person wasn’t an opponent until he decided to switch parties, at which point, what the Dem party thinks no longer matters.
The impeachment effort is akin to a UN Resolution to abhor an act by a nation. It doesn't really do anything. UN RES 1441 ring any bells? There were several useless resolutions prior to desert storm. They set the stage for the US to invade Iraq, but in and of themselves they are toothless. The impeachment process is toothless if it doesn't result in the removal of the POTUS. There's a Clinton library in Arkansas, along with the Bill and Hillary Clinton airport. They are still fixtures in politics. Bill was impeached. Big deal.
I don't think you understand this guy's story. You're explaining sh** that doesn't matter.
Not one Republican vote. It's a sham.
Never heard of this guy. Did anyone besides ElNono even know he existed before this?
Yup. Given the composition of Congress it’s largely procedural and a historical record, barring any new developments that changes that equation. However, it doesn’t mean it didn’t have to be done, even if we all knew the outcome wasn’t removal.
because after some of his earlier votes, he was going to get primaried, and he likes his cushy ass job
I know more about this guy than you do. From my former state, I know his cons uency well, I know the district he represents, I know his voting record. I posted it in another thread not long ago.
What do *you* know about this guy? And have you even heard of him before he announced he was switching parties?
I see it as sending a mixed message. On one hand it says "you're a POTUS, not a CEO" and on the other it says "You can act as a CEO if you don't mind the word "impeached"".
The flipper was obvious a DINO, did not vote with the Dems, and obviously, like every pol, put himself above the preferences of the voters who elected him.
This POS will regret,like they all will, hitching is wagon to Trash, who pardons sadistic, psychopathic murderers.
