In reply to the discussion: Rick Wilson just said he expects DCCC to release Van Drew's oppo research file today [View all]tblue37
(65,488 posts)29. Democrats don't have anything comparable to the wingnut welfare circuit that enriches failed GOP
politicians. This jerk is not going to be nominated by the Republicans in his district, and he faces major opposition from the Democrats, so there's no hope for re-election anyway. Therefore, he needs to punch his "I'm really on your side, Republicans!" ticket and then switch parties so he can cash in as an unfairly treated wingnut/ Dem defector.

If Van Drew is a Democrat, why does the DCCC have "opposition research" on him?

I agree, and yes, I'd prefer it. Here's the problem with his "vetting file"...
