Not The First Democrat, And Won't Be The Last.....

And he's outa' here!

"Las Vegas Democrat Switches Parties, Running As Republican For Governor​

North Las Vegas Democrat Mayor John Lee announced that he’s running as a Republican in a primary for governor. Lee was a registered Democrat who served in the state assembly from 1997 to 2001 and the state senate from 2004 to 2012.

Lee argued the Democrats’ “elitist” and “socialist” agenda is not one he “can stand with anymore.”


“They had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the Socialist Party. It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party I can stand with anymore,” Lee began.

“The working class, or working men and women of this country, and also the small business owners are not a part of the conversation anymore. It all has to do with the elitists and it has to do with the socialists. That is not the agenda that I have in mind for this country of the future. When you’re a pro-life Democrat, a pro-gun Democrat, and you’re a very conservative person, that’s not really well known in the Democratic Party anymore. And so for me to hang on as long as I did, hoping the party would change, it didn’t, it got worse,” he said.





.....many are switching parties and joining the GOP.

The Nevada Independent reported:

Very little change in the trend established months ago, with four times as many Dems switching to GOP in May as vice-versa. The numbers are relatively small — still in the hundreds. But more Dems also are fleeing their party and registering as indies, too, by close to 2-to-1.

Will it make a difference at all, and are some of these just getting into the GOP to vote in the major contested primaries next month? Hard to tell. But if you look at the aggregate numbers for the last quarter, you’d rather be the Rs than the Ds.


The latest (last three months in parentheses):

Democrat to Republican: 650 (1,485)

Republican to Democrat: 174 (440)

Democrat to nonpartisan: 789 (2,067)


Republican to nonpartisan: 429 (1,132)

NP to Democrat: 1,063 (2,122)

NP to GOP: 1,349 (2,851)"

Trump switched parties, and we know what a disaster he was. Just ask Chenney, Pence, Bush, and many of the cabinet members who served in his narcissistic administration. Now, the GOP is fragmented instead of upholding ethical conservative values. I used to vote Republican, but not after 2015. Trump and his minions are idiots.

Who the fuck is Chenny?
Prove the GOP is fragmented. Its not, its energized. Look at the primary turnouts.
You didn't refute the OP that many moderate democrats, aka "Trump voters", are bailing on the socialist party.

Xiden is the disaster, not Trump. Don't make me list all of his catastrophes, like AFG, open borders, runaway inflation, shortages, being held in contempt by allies, etc.

So another politician switched parties.

Quelle Surprise…

"Trump switched parties, and we know what a disaster he was."

What a stupid comment.

So....you're a government school grad, huh?



Jot this down:

Let's remind all the mindless....you......of Trump's five Nobel nominations for peace in the Middle East, quieting of North Korea, no invasions by Russia, keeping Iran guessing, having the courage to move our embassy to Jerusalem, forcing Mexico to keep invaders on their side of the border, sending ships through the South China Sea that China claimed was theirs, not turning over tons of armaments to the Taliban..........astounding foreign policy achievements that no Democrat can claim.

And that amazing achievement involving foreign policy: American energy independence.

How about the President who saved America and the free world:

Eager for a larger stage, but not allowed to enter politics by GE, he quit and formally registered as a Republican. He often said, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me."

And the tax cuts of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 stimulated economic growth. “As a 1982 JEC study pointed out,[1] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid.” http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm

“As inflation came down and as more and more of the tax cuts from the 1981 Act went into effect, the economic began a strong and sustained pattern of growth.” Front page | U.S. Department of the Treasury

1. The benefits from Reaganomics:
   1. The economy grew at a 3.4% average rate…compared with 2.9% for the previous eight years, and 2.7% for the next eight.(Table B-4)
   2. Inflation rate dropped from 12.5% to 4.4%. (Table B-63)
   3. Unemployment fell to 5.5% from 7.1% (Table B-35)
   4. Prime interest rate fell by one-third.(Table B-73)
   5. The S & P 500 jumped 124% (Table B-95) http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/tables10.html

While the ranks of the wealthy quickly multiplied, middle-class investors also entered the stock market in rapidly growing numbers. The creation by Congress in 1978 of the 401(k) tax-deferred retirement plan provided new incentives for workers to invest their savings in the stock market (often through mutual funds) rather than relying on company-funded pensions for retirement. The 401(k) led to a kind of democratization of Wall Street, as the percentage of American households owning some stake in the stock market—either directly or through mutual funds—shot quickly from 15.9% in 1983 to 29.6% in 1989.23 Thus the great bull market of the 1980s created more wealth, for more American families, than any previous boom in history.

Not to be cynical, but the real question is, How could ANYBODY switch from R to D in these specific times? Seriously? Mental defective? Hoping to run for office in Nancy Pelosi's district?

It is truly a puzzle.

My premise is that the same mass psychosis thst took hold in Germany in the 30s and 40s is at the root of the problem.....and government school seems to be the site of infection.
