NJ-2: Van Drew considering switching parties over impeachment

[OneJ]

This whole situation also highlights how much of an idiot Van Drew is apparently.

1. Why would make a switch from the majority party to the minority party?

2. Asking DCCC staffers to back him after he switches from the Democratic to Republican Party. Need I say more?

3. Van Drew thought it was a good idea to constantly criticize his own party while trying to give himself a particular image to voters when all he was really doing was being a thorn to the party. What made him think it was a good idea to pick apart his own party then crawl back to receive help from DCCC staffers now that he's a whole Republican (which he pretty much always was)?

4. He should've realized that he was really backing himself into the corner when he decided not to back impeachment in the first place. As already said, there's a good-sized Democratic base within NJ-02 that's largely, as one might imagine and judging by the results of the poll gracile posted from Twitter, upset with his cowardly decision to vote no on impeachment.

5. Van Drew switching his party affiliation does nothing but harm. He'll lose staffers. Him cozying up to Trump in order to save him in the primary isn't guaranteed. And even if he somehow does get Trump's endorsement which is unlikely it'd still be a tough sell to both Republican primary voters and the Republican establishment. And even if he does win the primary he still has to go through the general election which is also no guarantee he'd win given that he's alienated his old Democratic base and maybe a chunk of Republican voters refusing to vote for him for obvious reasons. On top of all of this he still has to vote with the Republican establishment and Trump by him being considerably to the left of even the most moderate of the party.
