Why don’t they just make it official and switch parties?

And admit that they have lied to their voters.

This is why Trump should build the wall with emergency powers before they can peel off enough votes to defeat it. Too many big govt lovers in the GOP.

Blue State reps, desperate for re-election. They can not be overt Republicans and win.

What’s the Alternative?

Sickening fact of the matter, but true.

He was only waiting to follow some other RINOs, and not wanting to be the first.

Then he’ll make some “senatorial” press release claiming he is only going with a “bipartisan majority” and only to get the government shutdown ended, but not to make a negative statement about the wall. That way he can pretend to be for the wall while not being for the wall. To RINOs that type of mugwump is “senatorial”.

If walls don’t work, and are ‘immoral’ then why are people required by law to put a wall around their swimming pools?
