Seriously, never heard of McKean, he surely won't be missed. His reasoning for leaving the Republicans? He does not want to be a Republican with Trump as President

Finally.....a Republican with integrity and morals.....This is a rarity and hopefully the beginning of a trend.

My guess is he did something illegal and knows if you broke the law the best party to be in is the Democratic party. They get away with everything.

I wish the other swamp RINO's would follow this loons exit and join the Democrat hive where they belong. ....

More disingenuous outrage from our "superiors"

It's starting. Not all are leaving, though. Some are thinking about a primary challenge.

Not integrity or morals at all. Mr. McKean just believes in the New Green Deal, reparations and combatting cow flatulence. Good luck to him with his new party which is more in tune with his ideology.

So according to the article, his hatred of Trump is purely personal and not related to any of Trump's policies or actions. Clearly, this man is just the kind of deep thinker the Democrats are looking for.

 

[Rambunctious]

He sounds too stupid to worry about....just another out of touch never Trumper....

He just got back into politics 2 years ago, after 24 yr absence...

Right, I know Frank's comments carried next to no value, that's why I was asking for his opinion on the fact that a long-time GOP lawmaker is siding with democrats.

This quote from McKean, concerning his opinion of Trump, speaks volumes.
"He sets, in my opinion, a poor example for the nation and particularly for our children by personally insulting -- often in a crude and juvenile fashion -- those who disagree with him, being a bully at a time when we are attempting to discourage bullying, his frequent disregard for the truth and his willingness to ridicule or marginalize people for their appearance, ethnicity or disability," he said.
I agree with that statement 110%. Trump's MO is that of a lying, juvenile bully with the mentality of a seventh grader, and Trump's ego is as fragile as an egg shell.

He's not the only one. I know somebody who switched parties for the same reason.

I’ll ask you a question. He left politics in 1993. Comes back in 2017, as a Republican, after already knowing who Trump is, yet in early 2019 suddenly decides to change to Dem. all the while, most all, but Iowans, had never hard of him, yet he suddenly has an article created in wiki 3 hours ago, coinciding with the release of a cnn article of this relative unknown, out of the picture for 24 years until 2017, stating he is changing parties.
Coincidence?
