This week, New Jersey Congressman and former Democrat, Jeff Van Drew, switched to the GOP after meeting with President Donald Trump. The anti-impeachment Democrat was a party favorite hand-picked by political power broker George Norcross. Van Drew's decision to leave the Dem party highlights a flaw in the Democrat's strategy of running centrists to win over Trump voters: politicians can't be trusted.
