After dancing around his support for Donald Trump throughout the 2016 campaign and Trump’s first few months as president, vulnerable Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) finally acknowledged that he voted for the President in November.

“Yes, I voted for Donald Trump,” he told the Nevada Independent on Monday.

Throughout the 2016 campaign, Heller, who faces a tough re-election fight in 2018, criticized Trump but never said outright that he would not support him for president. The senator said in October 2016 that he was 99 percent sure he would not vote for Trump, but it now appears Heller came around.

In April, Heller told constituents at a town hall that he would support Trump when he agrees with him and try to change his mind when the two differ. For much of the health care debate, Heller was a thorn in Republican leadership’s side. He did end up voting for a motion to proceed on a bill to repeal Obamacare, but the effort went down in flames thanks to three other Republican senators.

Heller was also targeted by a pro-Trump group with ads over his opposition to the Senate bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. However, the super PAC, America First Policies, nixed the ad campaign after complaints from Republican senators.

Surprised, not in the least, a sitting Senator went up to a voting booth and voted for a "sexual predator" and a fascist, and racist, and he wants to to go back to Washington to perform his duty to support a sexual predator, fascist and racist, and talk out of both sides of his mouth and is still a hypocrite, that wants to take away health care, he is a spineless hypocrite, a yes man for his right wing fascist, racists party "republican".

1. He's the most vunerable of the GOP up in 2018 and is apparently looking for $$$ to keep his job.

Let's hope NV makes sure that this is his last term.

5. And I hope the picture of him and that white nationalist who participated in Charlottesville rally
