2. Ya' done good, (the other) Joe

Stick with us...you will soon stop equivocating about being a D.

3. That's fine but he should've said until after the inauguration of the next president in Jan.

Moscow Mitch is certainly capable of holding up a vote before Nov. 3 then having a vote in the lame duck period no matter who wins.

Blue dogs, what are ya gonna do with them?

4. If Biden Wins & Democrats Take Senate, He Won't Vote In Lame Duck

There's no way that would happen.

6. Why not?

7. That virtually guarantees that will happen.

8. Of Course He Would

If he and Lindsey have the hearings and (pretend) vetting done before November 3, then - even if every Republican loses - he would definitely throw up his middle finger at us all and vote the Justice in. There is a possibility that some of HIS Senators might balk, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did it.

9. Don't put anything past them. They have no conscience and would do it in a heartbeat.

Haven't we learned that yet about that party?

11. HA HA HA HA ... oh you are serious?

12. Manchin Is A Democrat

If Biden is going to be President, and his party is going to be in control of Congress, why in the world would Manchin stab the party in the back by voting in a Drumpf nominee, when he already held out until the Election was over?

I have criticized Manchin in the past, so perhaps that's where all the attacks against my comment are coming from. I take him at his word in this case, and if Biden wins, I have no doubt that he will wait for Biden to make the choice.

5. Let's hope this motivates undecided voters to vote for Joe
