21. Anyone see where Joe's switcheroo is going?
So, Joe runs against a Democrat in the Nov. election, as a party of one (Lieberman for CT or whatever he's calling it today). Obviously,he's not running as a Democrat, and I don't care how much he spouts "Independent Democrat" he ain't one.

Let's say he wins. Are we to accept that he dances into the Senate chamber, changing his party affiliation again back to Democrat?

Bottom line: the electoral (primary) process is being gamed by this man who's no longer even a DINO. You can run in the general election as an independent, if that's what you are. But when you game the system by running in a primary, THEN running as an independent/one-man party in the general, you are a cipher, a nothing, a zero.

There's only one way around this quagmire, since Joe will change back to the Dem label (not that it means anything to him, except for committee assignments):

A NED LAMONT VICTORY IN NOVEMBER

Come on, Connecticut...you can do it again! After Tuesday, you can do anything!
