1. That was the plan all along.

2. So it’s about the money and not the electorate…..?

3. [removed]

4. Perhaps some bright young lawyer would take a very small class action case. Fraud committed against the people who voted for her. Make it very expensive to do this crap.

5. Once again, a bait and switch to voters that should trigger an immediate election.

6. Lyin’ Asshole

7. An honorable person would resign and run as the other candidate in a by-election.

   Of course (lol) being a Republican) that isn’t possible. It’s not possible anymore to be a Republican and a reasonable, rational person, and the rest of normal society should act accordingly. For instance, candidates should be grilled regarding their future plans, and their willingness to endure any and all manner of sanctions if they try this shit.

   Fuck these scumbags.

8. A coward and a traitor. You should be required to resign to do this. 

9. Must come with a big fat welcome check?

10. More concerned about staying in power than doing anything to help their constituents.

11. They should hold a special election when politicians do this.

12. Let’s see a R switch over to the Dems. Lawsuits abound.

13. She ran unopposed. Her reasoning is mind-bogglingly fucking stupid.

14. Dems will take it lying down.

15. Republicans lie, cheat, steal, and hurt people on purpose. Then they ridicule and mock their victims. There is nothing good about any republican.

16. These people should be impeached and banned from running again. New elections are too good for them.

17. How is this not fraud? I get that there may not be any explicit laws regarding this but that begs the question, should their be? I say yes.

18. Seems bearing false witness is no big deal to a hypocrite

19. It should be illegal to scam your voters like this

20. If you want to switch parties, you should have to resign your seat, and re-campaign under your new party banner.

21. >”The decision was not made lightly but comes from a deep sense of responsibility to my constituents and my commitment to the values that guide my service,” Cassel said in a social media post

    And a deep commitment to her bank account and personal advancement.

22. Dems need to start running as Republicans and switch.

23. People would not be so outraged if 9-10 months ago this turncoat had run in the Republican primary as a Republican.

    Instead, she lied to her constituents who expected a Democrat with Democratic Party positions to represent them.

    States need to pass laws requiring an immediate vacating of an elective office and new elections when faithless politicians betray the constituents who elected them.

24. Just another DINO ……

25. This should not be allowed.

26. Terrible! Also notice that, despite all the traitorous, terrible things that W Bush (embracing torture, lying us into war, sacrificing thousands of troops for a lost cause in Iraq & Afghanistan) & Trump have done, not a SINGLE prominent Republican has switched over to be a Democrat! At best, a few Republicans have a small enough spine to speak out against Donald & his openly corrupt & criminal behavior. 😂🤷‍♂️

27. Why is this not illegal? It’s fraudulent as hell.

    Everyone that donated to her campaign should have standing to sue.

28. This feels like you’re defrauding your voters and donors.

29. She’s a Zionist of course. Apparently the Dems sending all the bombs Israel needs to mass murder Palestinians wasn’t enough.

    She wants to join the party that is more straight forward about wiping Palestinians off the face of the planet.

30. Should be illegal

31. If you switch parties right after an election that was always your plan

32. It’s Florida, every politician is a rat dressed as a flamingo yard ornament.
