When has there ever been a national politician who switched parties from a majority party (in the House) to a minority party?"What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W. Tozer

Super wealthy folks hedge their bets towards a sure horse. On the other hand, the belief that this whole impeachment is a witch hunt against the POTUS, thus rallying his base to support him ever more fervently than even 2016 is a more logical explanation.

Originally posted by Littlejoe View PostRalph Hall Rep. from Texas did in 2004. He switched from Democrat to Republican
From your link ---After Hall's switch, Republicans hold 229 seats in the House, to the Democrats' 204. There is currently one Independent and one vacancy, created when Republican Ernie Fletcher resigned last month to become governor of Kentucky.
I was asking...When has there ever been a national politician who switched parties from a majority party (in the House) to a minority party?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

They know Trump is guilty, just like you do, but just like you, they don't care.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostActually, that's a good point. Amash actually went independent but he is now caucusing with the Dems so that's pretty danged close.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
