I’d say the opposite. He’s a turncoat traitor. I wouldn’t trust him.
Nice to have him for the time being, but he ran as a DEM, won as a DEM, he’s a DEM.
Turncoat traitors are like Marco Rubio or John McCain or Mitt Romney
The ones who run as conservatives, get support from conservatives and do the opposite once they win their elections.
VanDrew is none of those things, he said he would not support impeachment, he isn’t supporting it, he said he would not vote for Nancy, he didn’t.
That’s not a turncoat, if he thinks he can represent his district better as a Republican, he should go for it. We should welcome a man like that into our party.
It takes a lot to buck a party as a freshman representative. It takes a ton of guts to be in his position.
Besides South Jersey Dems represent blue collar working districts, they are nothing like the commie dems in the northern part of the state.
Steve Sweeney is a blue dog dem in the NJ state house, he got more done and got along better with Chris Christie then he can do with Phil Murphy. Because Sweeney is NOT a social justice warrior and doesn’t believe in the leftist communist nonsense that Phil Murphy does. Sweeney is a blue collar union guy and that is where he gets his support from.
VanDrew is in a similar situation, the left went way too far left and he is abandoned by his own party, so he can either be the odd guy out in a party full of commies or join the republican party where he can compromise with.
Votes are what counts, and other than his one vote against impeachment, he has voted with Pelosi every single time. He knows he is going to lose in November, and this is his desperate plan to save his skin. I like that he is poking the dems in the eye, but this is self preservation, not a principled stand.
