Moderate Dem quits Congress in disgust, denouncing 'rainbows and unicorns'
By Monica Showalter

With the Squad, the greenie lobby, the teachers' unions, and the open borders industrial complex calling the shots in the Democratic Party these days, it's obviously no picnic to be a moderate member of the Democrats in Congress.

Which is why 31 of them are leaving, most fully aware that a red wave is coming. But perhaps more importantly albeit less well known is that many of them angry at how the crazed Democrats have treated them.

Here's the latest exit, described by the Daily Caller:

Retiring Florida Rep. Stephanie Murphy called out Democratic leadership for repeatedly siding with the left flank of the party against moderate members during a Friday interview.

...and...

A frequent critic of the “Squad” and other left-wing Democrats, Murphy has complained about a “toxic” environment with “plenty of Dem-on-Dem violence.” She directly blamed party leadership for that atmosphere in the interview.

“You can’t promise rainbows and unicorns when you know that you don’t have the votes for it. Because the difference between rainbows and unicorns and political reality is going to be disappointment and anger,” she said.

A 'red wave' should be in store for the mid terms but there are no guarantees.  The GOP should not become complacent and take for granted that the blunders of Sloe Joe will ensure that the GOP takes the House or Senate. What is the GOP doing other than sitting back as usual??

Sure there are lots of DEMS jumping ship, but who will replace them?  Other more radical DEMS? RINO's? 

The best that I am hoping for is that the GOP is able to keep their conservative governors. Without them, any conservative leadership is gone.
