He’s an opportunist. nothing more
Navy’s going to build 3 additional AEGIS destroyers. Between Bath and Ingalls, one yard will get two ships, one will get one. King is from the the next town over from Bath Iron Works.
The math is left for the class....
I live next door in NH, and King is a well known sleazebag. If he caucuses with the GOP it will be to help Democrats somehow.
I could see him moving into the GOP caucus and then leave after saying they’re too radical blah blah, to make the GOP look bad.
Then the Politico/Yahoo cabal runs headlines like: Independent Senator leaves GOP; Cites radical Tea Party elements Etc.
King is a hardcore Dem.
