Reply #73: Not ejected from the party [View All]

I think he should be removed as a Democratic representative on commitees and basically isolated from the other Dems if and when they talk strategy about anything.

Supporting the opposition shows he cannot be trusted to represent to represent Dems in commitee, and it would be stupid to allow him into strategy sessions. He has outright voted for the opposition, and has now declared allegience to the opposition candidate.
However, the people of Georgia voted for him as a Dem, and throwing him out of the party does not seem warranted. I think a better tactic is to completely politically isolate him for the remainder of the term, and if he doesn't jump ship and does come out in support of the chimp, point to his voting record and his RW attitude, and attack him on it, saying that he was a Repuke anyway. That way, even if his support of the chimp gets press, it can be countered by showing that he was always a Republican anyway.
If isolating him and neutering him politically gets him to jump to the Repukes, then his endorsement won't mean shit.
