If the Pubbies blow this opportunity they will have done a greater disservice to America than Benedict Arnold!

Senator Daniel Hall announced on Wednesday that he would shed his party identity and join the Republican Party. The Senator, who was not up for re-election on Tuesday, told Eyewitness News over the phone, that the people in his district voted in large numbers against the Democratic Party and he made the change, to best represent their interests,
What a political whore! No change of heart. No change of convictions. What he said was: I'm switching so I can get reelected, but, bet your sweet a** and the house cat, I'm still a Democrat at heart. Now I just have to snow the Republicans in my State District.

Democrats feeling some aftershocks from the earthquake Tuesday? Paging Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.
To: SeekAndFind
I do not expect to see this at the federal level, unless Manchin suddenly smells the roses.
In the House, the four Democrats always in question with regard to party jumping, are gone. Mike McIntyre and Jim Matheson retired. Nick Rahall and John Barrow were blown away by double digit margins on Tuesday.
As the Democrap caucus shrinks, it becomes more militantly leftist.

This is how a veto will be overridden.
Some party swaps and some dem crossovers.
Hell, it’ll be close anyway.

So-called independent Sen. Angus King (I-ME) backed off his pledge to caucus with the majority party in the 114th Congress on Wednesday. A good example of why politcians in general have lower voter approval than the Taliban.

Party jumpers may enjoy a short term advantage, but it almost always comes back to bite them in the @$$ later on.

People who run around jumping on bandwagons are liable to get hit by a horn.

In the House, the four Democrats always in question with regard to party jumping, are gone. Mike McIntyre and Jim Matheson retired. Nick Rahall and John Barrow were blown away by double digit margins on Tuesday. The handwriting was on the wall. They could have announced some time ago that they would seek reelection as a Republican, and I suspect they would have won fairly easily.

I wonder how many racist libs will see something like “Black joins Republicans” and blindly tweet hateful “Uncle Tom” messages at her.

Barrow had been dodging defeat for years. Probably felt he’d get lucky again.

More good news, this could become a trend in the heartland.

If Obola vetoes a popular bill (Keystone, coal) and they are able to convince D’s to override it, that will be bigger than impeaching Obola.
To: Delta Dawn
No - no impeachment on the horizon. With veto capabilities we don’t want it.
Impeachment would lose the senate and create massive house losses.
We don’t need it anyway if we can manage the teenaged president politically.

Manchin is more useful as a D. Better to reach across the aisle, and expect him to vote against R’s on issues important to WV that are more liberal (union issues, etc)
