Iowa's longest-serving Republican state lawmaker is ditching the party in a protest of what he called President Donald Trump's "unacceptable behavior" and is joining the Democrats.
State Rep. Andy McKean, a moderate from eastern Iowa whose 29 years in the legislature include stints in the House and Senate, announced his party switch at a news conference Tuesday. He called Trump "a poor example for the nation and particularly for our children" and said he'll seek re-election in 2020 as a Democrat.
"With the 2020 president election looming on the horizon, I feel as a Republican that I need to be able to support the standard bearer of our party. Unfortunately, that is not something I am able to do," McKean said Tuesday of Trump.

It is fine, if he wanted to switch parties. But he should have done that before the election and run as a Dem.
But to run and get elected as a Republican, with R help, then switch parties is dirty and dishonest.
Good. Part of the reason I voted for Trump was to
drive as much RINO scum out of the party as possible.
President Trump
Guess he wants to retire with a failed election to remember.
Girlie man.
Any Repuke who thinks Trump’s behavior is “unacceptable” and joins the RATs was always a closet RAT to begin with. If you want to join a party filled with America hating, treasonous people then good riddance to your sorry behind!
I think I see the problem.
I found the Democrats values unacceptable so I left the party in the 1980s.
Don’t insult “girlie men” by comparing this garbage to them.
Girlie men may not be very strong, but they are not inherently bad, while this guy is totally evil and rotten.
Drain the Swamp.
That’s pretty much how I can see it. I think this guys blood pressure will go down now that he’s no longer living a lie.
I have a feeling he did this for another reason. Time will tell.
Follow the money. No doubt the dirtbag was guaranteed some hefty Democrat “donations” to give the Dems this “longest serving Republican leaves party over Trump” talking point.
Don’t let the door hit you.....
What teenage boy did he get caught in bed with?
Bush League Republican.
Bet he’s connected to cheap labor importers.
This guy is a phony. He certainly belongs in the Democrat Party, a collection of phonies, criminals, and corrupt loonies. Unfortunately, he probably fits in pretty well with the voters of eastern Iowa.
Okayee? Which part about that is surprising for a liberal?
Yep.
So he prefers to identify with the party of sodomy and abortion. Trump0 is way too good for him.
