Good. This means the district is blue and we'll get it back
How much substance is behind this switch? According to FiveThirtyEight, Jeff Van Drew votes with Trump 7% of the time. For reference, Rashida Tlaib voted with Trump 9% of the time, AOC 14%, Justin Amash 81%, and Will Hurd 58%. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/house/ …https://twitter.com/politico/status/1205955727639973888 …

That will kill him in the GOP primary where purity is a major component. His opponents have a ton of votes on the record to hold against him, like gun control, ACA, and immigration. His opponents will label him as an opportunist. switching parties is just as likely to backfire.

I hate to bring empirical evidence into a good rant, but since 1995 there have been 10 Congressmen who switched from D to R. Only 1 was primaried, in 2010 by a tea party loon. My own Congressman, Nathan Deal, had a long, successful career after switching parties.
