blue dog Democrats?
They will run over a dog to vote leftist, right?
Not always.
Ours, Herseth-Sandlin, (now replaced by REPUBLICAN Christie Noem) used to vote with the Republicans...but only when Nancy had enough votes to not need hers.
She, and the other Blue Dogs ALWAYS got Pelosi's permission to "break with" the party on votes; otherwise, they toed the Leftist line.
It was a sham to give them reelction "conservative" street cred at home, while not hurting the party's agenda.
A Dem is a Dem is a RINO, is a Dem.
