Van Drew and longtime Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), who chairs the House Committee on Agriculture, were the only two Democrats to oppose a procedural House vote—the only one that has been held so far—on moving the impeachment inquiry into the public sphere. No Republicans have supported it, and USA Today noted that on-the-fence members of the GOP like Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) have not backed impeaching Trump.

I got excited at first but this is the SAME DEM I read about OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER on this site.

We don’t need a token bitch to show that we’re right.

Probably in a tight district and want to win again

#### what any of the dems think.

They’d all, each and every one screw us if the timing was right.

When they do the final vote to push the paperwork off to the Senate...I will go and predict that 20 Democrats either abstain or vote against it. It might pass, with just two or three votes to spare.

It’s always heartening when one finds integrity, honesty, and decency in congressmen, especially Democrat congressmen.

Quick, Schiff! Nadler! Nancy! Get him into your star chamber and work him over with a rubber hose. Threaten to ruin him after they win absolute power. Threaten. Bully. Torture. It always works./s

The 66-year-old pointed out that no president in history has been successfully removed by the Senate. To have a “small, elite group” of lawmakers try and remove a president just months before an election is indefensible and un-American, he told the paper.

“To some folks, that’s reminiscent of what was done to kings and queens many years ago,” Van Drew said. “Everything our country doesn’t stand for.”

Van Drew represents New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District, which voted in favor of Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

“I am a moderate. I am a capitalist,” Van Drew said, adding that he is closer to Pelosi “and Trump than AOC or those folks,” referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a freshman lawmaker who has publicly supported socialist policies.

He added that his constituents have supported a number of the president’s policies so far.

Later in the interview, Van Drew suggested that if Trump is acquitted in the Senate, it would raise his chances of reelection in 2020. He said Trump would be able to claim “exoneration” and use it to gain political points.

“I say to folks sometimes: Watch what you wish for,” the congressman said.

Impeachment Motivations Part 2 – Hiding Links to Corruption

FR Comments: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3797979/posts

Ukraine, Burisma, Templeton, BlackRock, Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, Yovanovich, Poroshenko

They think they must impeach to keep many from going to jail. (Their going to jail for their crimes, would be a great outcome)

They are exposed. If any have the balls to drop the hammer.

Van Drew suggested he wasn’t exactly pleased with Trump’s dealings with Ukraine...

Van Drew is still a dope.

The extent of Van Drew’s pleasure is not the point.

My job is to exact as much goodwill and help for my district and for this nation and for this world that I possibly can while he’s president,” he added.

Hmmmph. Funny, I thought a Critter's job was to represent his district. Which can and should include saying no to his constituents. Not playing Santa Claus with other people's money.

He’ll vote against it. Van Drew represents a Trump district in south NJ.
