Apropos of nothing in particular, who is more likely to change to R: Manchin or Sinema?

[Stinky The Clown]

My vote is for Sinema. Manchin has been doing this tightrope struct his entire career. Iyt actually works for him (even as it pisses us off a lot of the time). Sinema not so much. I think she's wishy washier.

Thoughts?

This thread is simply an invitation to a conversation. There is zero evidence (I know of) that either one of them will flip.

1. whoever has bigger pockets

and has more opportunity to fill them.

2. Neither. They would find themselves in a crowded primary.

Much easier to win as one of two.

3. Neither. They have a lot more power as Democrats.

4. Shes a one termer regardless of whom she caucuses with.

5. Sinema would be toast in an AZ GOP primary. Manchin has no reason to switch.

I just don’t see it happening for either one.

6. They would lose all their special power if they became Republicans

[TwilightZone]

7. Neither.

They're both quite happy being Democrats, as anyone who would actually listen to them would quickly realize. Especially Manchin. If he's not a Democrat, he's not a Senator.

I realize that speculation is a primary activity here, but I really wish this particular one would die a painful death.

8. Neither

even a conservative Democrat has some basic differences that keep them from being a Republican even though they agree with some things.

9. Manchin is 73...with any luck God will take him soon
