This former Democrat turned into a Trump sycophant in order to keep his seat in Congress.
Can you imagine anything more vile?

You know, part of me wonders if this is how we kick someone like Chris Smith out. Rile up the base, run as a radical MAGA Republican in the primary, win that, easily defeat whatever token Democrat usually runs in the 4th district (this year it's some guy who Wawa is threatening to sue because his campaign logo has geese in it and no, I'm not making that up: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/wawa-logo-matt-jenkins-new-jersey-congress-20221004.html ), swap parties, and caucus with Democrats when you get to Congress.
You'd only last 1 term and you wouldn't get any decent committee appointments because no one in either party would trust you but you could make Chris Smith fuck off for a bit.

Someone tried to do that this year, Mike Crispi. He got creamed.

holy shit...we would have been screwed if he managed to primary smith. That guy is so MAGA, he's spreading Pro-Russian, Anti-Ukraine propaganda on Facebook. Heck he is still attacking Smith like his name is on the ballot.
You say he got creamed, I say those margins weren't big enough...

Smith has an absolutely bulletproof voter base. The only thing taking him out is father time.

Gotta hand it to him though, he knows his constituents well enough to know that changing parties would keep him in office. Imagine if he not only listened to his people, but actually worked on their behalf instead of his own.

What about the people who voted him based on his democratic platform

Yes, I can imagine something more vile. If Trump insulted my father, and my wife, and called me a liar (even though I am one), I'd never bow down to that MFer. In fact, I'd spend my days sticking him (politically) in the back with a knife every chance I got.
