I like Minnick. Met him and he’s a stand up guy. Gives his word and stands by it. Despises the leadership. I could see a party switch in his future. Don’t know much about him personally but any guy who wears cowboy boots to the Capital is okay with me.
Don’t get me wrong. I like the guy too. I’d like to see the GOP pick up the seat, but could do a lot worse than Minnick.
Switch parties ? Have you seen Minnick’s voting record ? He got a 56% liberal rating in 2009. He’d never win renomination as a Republican. The guy in AL, Parker Griffith, scored a 44% liberal rating and lost renomination handily after switching parties.
Yeah, he despised the leadership so much that he went ahead and voted for Nancy Pelosi as speaker. Minnick MUST be defeated. It’s guys like him whose sole purpose is to pad the majority’s numbers and then they are given a pass to vote like conservatives when their votes aren’t needed. Voting for Minnick is no different than voting for Pelosi.
