Swamp Republicans Hide in Plain Sight on the Trump Bandwagon
Some milquetoast Republicans have figured out that endorsements from and photo-ops with a popular Republican president can substitute for a solid record with voters in their districts. It’s time to demand more.

President Trump’s pace car lap around the Daytona 500 track might as well have been a victory lap. What a month he is having. The good news for Trump continues as the impeachment trial backfired on the Democrats, his rallies have long lines with boisterous overflow crowds, the Iowa Caucus being a disaster for the Democrats, the economy continues to roar and his job approval numbers are at all-time highs.
Embedded establishment Republicans who may have not immediately warmed to candidate Trump now have adopted him as though they supported him all along. Good politicians know how to stick their fingers in the air and judge the prevailing winds, and teaming with Trump and this economy is a winning strategy for them.
These “swamp†Republicans have even figured out a way to hide their terrible voting records and associations with questionable lobbyists in plain sight. Trump is so popular their disastrous conservative voting records readily can be overcome simply by advertising their photo ops with the president at every opportunity.
Case in point: my Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas).
