swing state Dems elected in 2018 mid-terms has announced his defection.  Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey has decided to switch his party affiliation from Dem to Republican because he can't follow Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler off the plank and sacrifice his own budding political career by TOFTT by voting for impeachment.  He's already met with Trump who has endorsed the move and will help campaign for his re-election in 2020.  

My guess is that their won't be enough to stop impeachment in the House, but what ever the actual number is, I am willing to bet that number will be a LOT bigger than the number of Reps voting for impeachment.

voting system rather than a roll-call vote like the Senate.  The system gives the members 15 minutes to cast their vote of Aye or Nay.  It will be interesting to see how many wait until the last minutes to push their button in order to see how others have voted (votes are displayed on a large board as they come in that show how each member voted).  Might be a nail-biter for many.  

The Congressman in question had already said he wouldn't vote for impeachment. Having already doomed himself in the party he had nothing to loose. Now let's see if he gets primaried.

But don't you agree it was smart of Trump to jump on this and exploit it in the media?

Proving only that Trump has a remarkable grasp of the obvious.

on the House floor for Wednesday, so Pelosi must think she has the votes to get it through.

Here is what I think is much more likely to happen in next year's election. The outraged Dims in the district are going to find the wackiest, most socialist, loony tune to nominate to run against him and with the full 100% support from Trump and the GOP Drew will cruise to victory virtually, or even literally running unopposed in the primary, and slaughtering whatever loopy lib the Dims throw at him in the general.

At least 5 and possibly 7 of his staff have resigned, leaving only one staffer in his DC office, and the Rep. candidate for his seat called him a "weasel."

The other one simply called him "desperate"

If it was a Republican switching to the Dem party, we would call him "stupid."

He'll be addressing him as Congressman Weasel.  

You are as full of predictions as you are full of shit.

There is at least one other Dem who came out against impeachment even before the hearings,  Collin C. Peterson of Minnesota. Here is what he had to say about this farce.

go FUCK yourself.  And do it TODAY.
And finally, BIG FUCKING DEAL. You found ONE other Dem.
You have been WRONG SO many times and almost NEVER admit it.
Did I mention you are also a lying sack of shit?

to melt down like this over being proven wrong.  You usually take it in stride as its almost an everyday occurrence.   What happened that made you so grumpy today?

So I am falling back on an over-used line of yours:  I was joking.
And, in fact, I actually was. Stupid as he is, I think Wu probably got it.
You, OTOH, failed.
I am sure you have an excuse.

being humorous.  When you go over the top like that, its usually humorous.  That's why my response was obtuse, as I often am.   Sorry you missed MY  humor.  

And it has stunted whatever sense of humor you may have had. Like Wu, I actually believe you did have a sense of humor back in the dim past. I have had scientists studying Wu for some time and they can't be sure whether he was born without a sense of humor, had it atrophy away from years of misuse, or had it surgically removed. Either way, it's gone.
I urge you not to let this same fate happen to you.

I laugh AT you all the time. Unfortunately you are almost never funny when you try to be.

Do you really think by repeating the same phrases over and over again you will somehow turn them into the truth?
Here's your wake-up call.
It's NEVER going to happen.
