As final impeachment vote nears, swing-district Dems fall in line (so vote them out!)
Fox News ^ | December 16 2019 | Gregg Re

With just hours to go until the House Rules Committee meets at 11 a.m. ET Tuesday for a marathon session to set the ground rules on this week's final impeachment vote, many of the moderate Democrats in districts President Trump won in 2016 have started to fall in line in favor of impeachment.

Other than New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who has mulled switching to the Republican Party, and Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, no other Democrat occupying one of the 31 House districts that Trump won in 2016 has announced opposition to impeachment. All Republicans in Congress and the Senate have opposed impeachment.

At the same time, New York Rep. Max Rose, whose district backed Trump by 10 points in 2016 and who has long campaigned on bipartisanship, announced Friday he would support impeaching the president.

Detroit and Georgia are purging their voter rolls.

The Dems will have to fall back to illegal immigrants and indirectly-Sore-Ass owned voting machines.

I told my wife that Brindisi was a Pelosi lap dog. She seemed to think he was independent and would not vote for impeachment LOL. He only won by 4000 votes last time over Tenney who is running again.

Conservatives have been saying this since 1968 when the radical element took over the democrat party yet here they remain, as well as around 230-240 electoral votes by default.

No kidding. I thought Freepers were smarter than to believe the DEMs would be destroyed in a year, two years, five years, because of impeachment.

I always liked Tenney. I hope the RNC pumps a lot of money in the district to get rid of Bridnisi.

Indeed. We agree. Probably in on it ? Take the money and keep quiet. It’s all done in secret anyway. “ Nobody will ever find out how corrupt we are”?—- Which is exactly the reason why USA was set up by our founders to not have any secret courts.

They were done the minute they voted to move this thing forward. How they vote on the actual articles won’t matter.

Dems are looking at a fall election like the UK Labor party just had...

Our rep (Brindisi) in upstate NY has come out and said he will vote for impeachment. The district went +12 for Trump.

I will send his opponent money, same for Delgado's opponent.

Brindisi in Central upstate NY is facing a rematch against the woman he beat by a handful of votes, and Delgado who beat Faso in the district just South of Albany NY should be a win if Molinaro runs.
