    Default Republican lawmaker in Iowa bolts party over disapproval of Trump

    Good for him! The GOP must get rid of this cancer in their party, called Trump?!!

    Iowa state Rep. Andy McKean announced Tuesday he is leaving the Republican Party and becoming a Democrat due to his misgivings over President Trump.

    “With the 2020 presidential election looming on the horizon, I feel, as a Republican, that I need to be able to support the standard bearer of our party. Unfortunately, that’s something I’m unable to do,” McKean said at a press conference in Des Moines.

    Who cares. As long as he is doing right by the people who voted for him, I don’t give a shit what he calls himself.
    I changed from a Republican to an Independent.
    I don’t want to be affiliated with any party. I have my own opinions on the issues. I don’t blindly follow any party. I make decisions on what makes sense. Unfortunately a lot of people have no common sense. I see that more on the left.

    The REAL story instead of the anecdotal story. Look at what is trending:

    2018 Oct 15-28 Republican = 29% Independent 36% Democrat 35%

    2019 Apr 1-9 Republican = 27% Independent 44% Democrat 26%

    Democrats have dropped in registration by 26%

    Republicans have only dropped 7%

    I think you will see more of the above with registered voters.
