We've had a similar issue here in #PA1, although the candidate here isn;t backed by the Dem party, but she's (@RachelReddick ) was a Reg R (for several years) until weeks befiore she announced her run for congress. Not the same exact fact pattern but seemed relevant.
Scoop: Party-backed Democrat @joshbutnerCA50 claimed independent status in election filings, but records show he was in fact a registered Republicanhttps://interc.pt/2vmX0H6

She's been open about the evolution, though, right?

This is stupid. I'm a left-leaning moderate. If I ever ran for office, I'd identify as a Dem with no pref. My personal policy is to vote in primary races I think will have most impact in my area. If you look at me, my records would show me as a registered R in KY in 2016.

Your "scoop" amounts to reactionary partisan bullshit.

Not when U look at what Pacs R also backing candidate. Pacs give money 2 candidate 2 have a certain kind of congress. These Pacs R pro Wall Street/business & anti workers. When you put everything together U get a corporate dem at best. Ok on social issues gop on economic issues
-
This is a non-sequitur. We're not talking about PACs, we're talking about the fact that he voted in a closed primary in 2008. Trying to frame him as a GOP operative is dense, partisan, and tangential to everything substantial in the race he's participating.

Did U read the article, because it brings up the $ he is receiving from 2 pro business Pacs & a member of dccc (which is very pro business anti worker). Dccc this election year has recruited a few gop members 2 run against progressive Dems N primaries, which makes it a story.
-
From Dem-leaning PACs, yes. Sure, they're pro-business. As a left-leaning moderate, I'm pro business. It's a stupid, asinine story that does more harm than good. This isn't a comparison to a progressive candidate, it's a GOP-in-sheep's-clothing, no-true-Scotsman circus.
-
Sorry to inform you that "I'm pro-business" in 2018 means you're not a left-leaning moderate, Eric.

Enjoy your sportsballpolitik. Have a good day.

People change parties. What exactly is the big deal? If he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, his record will show it and he'll go the way of the dinosaurs.
-
Sure, but if he gets elected and then votes with the republicans (same as Doug Jones and Conor Lamb) it is another 2 years of trying to undo the damage. He needs to explain this up front.

It’s more correct to say he’s the “Maybe DCCC backed” candidate.
