How often do you see politicians not only disagreeing with party leadership but actually changing parties in order to escape their madness? It's a 4 sigma event at the very least. But the libs are so over the top batshit crazy in hate with Trump that they appear to be oblivious to what those around them are saying and thinking.
In this recent case, its Rep Jeff Van Drew, a known moderate dem, who is running away literally in the political analog to having one's hair on fire. We have to understand, it's not just one man affected here. He has a whole staff who has been following him, for no small part because he's a dem. Do all those people just walk away from him now or do they "turn GOP" as well? Do all those dems who voted him in just walk away as well, or do they all quietly agree with this guy and think what he's doing is extremely gutsy, brave and principled?
At the end of the day, only an idiot strongly affiliates with one political party or the other. Those "parties" don't care about the people. They only care to stay in power. Heck, maybe that's all Van Drew is doing with this switch. Maybe he thinks the dems are off the rail so badly that the GOP will sweep the presidency, senate AND house in 2020.
I think most of the GOPs are not conservative. Most are liberals. Tax, spend, make un-keepable promises, fight endless foreign wars of aggression, in love with the control state, etc. So it is a joke to sign up with one party or the next. If you have to back a politician do it for what the person in question demonstrates are his/her real values. Talk is cheap and it's even negative interest bearing if you are a politician.
