Is he solid for reelection or is he afraid he may lose? Could be solid but then there’s the heat to deal with. No time to back down.
Fair weather conservative?
Not likely. I’d say the guys voting record is pretty Conservative. I have to believe a lot of people get in to it not knowing exactly how crazy American politics has become. There’s various degrees of absolute insanity on the left, a center that doesn’t stand for much and tribalism on the right. Nobody allows for differences of opinion. Right now we are in a situation where 2 people who agree 90% of the time on most everything are view each other no different to how they view a leftist. It makes no sense. I actually see the disintegration right here on Free Republic. We used to be incredibly united. All of us taking part in the factionalism- the only people were damaging is ourselves. We should be focused like a laser on the left. Instead, we get dumbass posts like this one of people on our own side: is this a sign he was a deep stater? Um no, he’s a tea partier with a great voting record. Maybe he decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to represent- not just conservative voters- but also a tribe that calls itself conservative, but is never willing to join the team & can’t be counted on to show up on election day! 🤔
