I knew him. We live in that district he used to have.
Nice guy, but agree with him on very few things, politically.
But, he dropped his official status as an R, and joined the D party. (Not that I would want him as a dem.)
This is a headline from The Hill, earlier this year.

I'm actually surprised he didn't just call himself an independent.
With his voting record, he has to know he's not all that welcome in the dem party.

Or they're planning to screw up midterms by running as Dems.

Conway is reported to be running as a Dem in NY.

Yes, he has been very critical of the slob, but he's not a Dem.

For gawd sake, he was married to kelly ann, proving only a severe lack of discernment & a very strong stomach.

No one should be able to see behavior in themselves, realize it's depravity/ wrong headedness and completely change one's point of view? Not to be able to decry past posts or actions and say....hey, I see what you've ( the other side ) been saying and you're right!!! Now I see the problems from a different perspective and I need to change both my tune and my voice........
Kinzinger deserves at least an acknowledgement that his seeing the depravity of the repugs and voices loud opposition to their hypocrisy.

Like I said, I don't agree with his politics, because he's a nice guy & seems a good man.
Unlike the vast majority of Rs, he put principle above power.
Cost him. He's even estranged from his family around here, because they are kool-aid drinkers. One of his motivations to move to Texas was to remove himself from his name-dropping relatives to fend for themselves now that they're nobodies again.
A golf buddy ran into his parents 5 or so years ago. This guy is middle of the road & even he was shocked at what privileged tools they were.

and I believe I read he moved to Texas recently. IDK if he plans to run again, but I wouldn't be surprised if he runs as an independent. I think it shook him up pretty bad when he was pushed out of DC.

Then tRump would give putin shit about hitting his "name sake" How about naming a missile after him?
The "47" ...the slob father would love it.. Then he would give Ukraine all the arms they wanted to defend his "Name"... I know it would piss off a bunch of people and playing the game does that sometimes...
