That bait n switch strategy worked in 2006, when a bunch of alleged moderates got elected and promptly did everything Nancy Pelosi told them to. They no longer exist, the voters having wised up. The Democrats are hoping the voters forgot so they can run the same grift again.
The LEFT has always done this and they will keep doing it. Rahm Emmanuel was very successful with this strategy in 2006.
I have never forgiven them for that.
