Blue Dogs are especially on the chopping block. Blue Dogs come, by and large, from conservative districts and they present themselves to the electorate as conservative. Once they get to Washington, they behave as anything but. They vote as the leadership wants them to. When they vote against the Democrat leadership and with their constituents, its because Pelosi doesn’t need that vote and allows the Blue Dog to deceive the folks back home.
Many, many Blue Dogs will be gone in November. Unfortunately, Ike Skelton will probably survive and he will continue to vote a very liberal line which is the price of his committee chairmanship. He’s happy to pay that price.
I agree. I thought the phrase (Even blue dogs are on the chopping block) was a bit naive. I would think they would be the first to go and with very good reason.
