Screw this guy, we don’t need anymore rinos. Let him vote for impeachment, then he’ll get replaced by a real republican.

I agree. We don't need a trophy like this abortion guy. Why risk the ire of God when He has watched over Trump all this time anyway?

The guy he replaced -- Republican Frank LoBiondo -- had a rating in the 30s from the American Conservative Union.

Donald Trump may have won that district, but it seems highly unlikely that a "Deplorable" could win a House race there.

Trump will carry south NJ next year but unfortunately a Democrat will carry the state because most of the population lives in populous Democrat north NJ.

I’m going to watch him, before I give him a pass. If he is going to be a RINO, he should stay a Dem. However, if he is honest with his district, he should be a strong Rep.

The only dem I would want is a pro-life dem, if there are any. This issue is at the heart of the party.

The three vying for the Republican nomination are trying out conservative each other. On specifically calls himself a Trump Republican on the front page of his website. Van Drew has a $900,000 war chest vs $400,000 or less for the challengers. Primary is June 2 so about six months of campaigning. I could see a challenger taking him out.

The “whistleblower” has no right to anonymity. He has a statutory right to no retaliation from his boss.

Pelosi probably told him that if he voted against impeachment, the people in his district can forget about any cooperation from Congress.

I’ve heard the Republican running is even left of Van Drew!! The Republican running is an associate of Joe Biden and wants Trump impeached!! I’d welcome him, but I would keep a fire lit to know we are watching.

I think this politician knows that his career is over when he switches parties....so I can only guess that he is pissed and is a classical libral not a progressive libral. I say lets be welcoming work with him where we can but long term he cant stay in the seat.

I was thinking that democrats in districts that Trump won face a no win situation. If they vote party line for impeachment they will be defeated next year, and if they vote against it they will face the ire of their party.

The only way to possibly win would be to switch parties. They could probably get reelected and if enough of them do it to flip congress it would completely screw Pelosi and crew. Probably wishful thinking though.

Former PA Governor Robert Casey, Sr., was one of the last ones standing.

When the DNC muzzled him and refused to allow him to present a prolife speech at the national convention I knew that their ballyhooed "big tent" no longer had room for me.

Yes, I am an ex-Dem....quarter century distant.

You heard wrong. See my post above. His three Republican challengers are conservative.
