Not only did he change parties, his cartoonishly ridiculous accent showed up out of nowhere. Go listen to him speak before the figured out he could get more votes as an (R).

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This guy has literally coasted through election after election purely because ignorant people associate his name with JFK's. So sure, he can claim he was never a "Marxist" when someone reminds him he used to be a Democrat because his constituents don't remember anyway.
This was a great article
I think it's only fair that from now on every interviewer of Sen. Kennedy ask him how long he's secretly been a Marxist.
Just like they should repeatedly ask Trump if he's ever paid for any abortions.
If only the press had balls.
Do republican voters seriously never grow tired or embarrassed by this clown show? I don't get it
They only hear good things from their side, if they heard something bad coming out of a Republican it would sound like a Charlie Brown trombone adults.
I really just don't get it. The arguments from the right aren't even convincing or remotely logical half the time. At this point it just feels like the politicians are treating their constituents like they're morons and they may be right since the voters not only keep voting them back in but defend these politicians like they're literally fighting the forces of darkness on their behalf.
wtf happened to the American right??
"I did not ever admit to being a Marxist! I did naaaaht! Oh, hi Mark."
Politics are lamb.
I’d disagree but a bit of mint sauce couldn’t hurt at this point.
Glorious.
