Anybody familiar with that district knows that the alternative could be much worse than a GOPer who votes for govt healthcare. Think “Cold cash” Jefferson, Sheila Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters worse-LOL. At least on social issues he can be conservative without angering his district too much.
I understand the point. He didn't vote for the Rat speaker of the House. The "blue dogs" who claim to be fiscal conservatives did that.
If he doesn't have a chance to be reelected it would have been nice to see him go down fighting for FREEDOM.
