Congressman to Face Defeated Tea Party Foe, Running as a Democrat, in November
4th August 2016
Hey, if Bloomberg can ‘switch parties’ in order to get elected….
Pennsylvania Rep. Bill Shuster faces a familiar face as he enters his general-election race: the same guy he beat in the spring’s Republican primary, and in the Republican primary before that.
Former Coast Guard captain and tea party activist Art Halvorson, who narrowly lost to Mr. Shuster in the state’s GOP race in April, will now appear on the November ballot as a Democrat after winning that party’s primary via write-in votes. He announced Tuesday he was accepting the Democratic nomination.
This could be entertaining.

The very best outcome of the 2016 presidential election would be for both major parties to be completely dissolved. The Dems could re-form a party with Sander’s supporters and openly declare the truth about being a socialist party. The Reps could re-form as damn near anything and still be an improvement over the RINO-infested mess that it is today.
And if all of that – by some miracle – resulted in Congress having term limits, we might actually stop getting candidates like Jeb Bush, Hillary, Bob Dole, Al Gore, etc.
