I watched Lincoln the other day & Van Drew’s situation brings to mind Alexander Coffroth’s. In the movie, Coffroth (D) wanted to switch to Rs & vote for 13th Amendment. But Thaddeus Stevens tells him to remain a Dem & vote for it to have more bipartisan support THEN switch later.

Just to tack on a final point to this -- Van Drew will probably cast his final vote as a Dem on impeachment and then switch. So a little Coffroth-esque, at least in the guise of the movie.https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/democrats-slam-van-drew-misses-first-house-vote-party-switch-news …
