The only question remaining about Manchin:

[madamesilverspurs]

When will his ego apply for statehood?

1. As things are, Joe Manchin will lose his senate seat in 2024

Because he already lost the trumpanzee vote by voting to remove 45. Twice.

The only way he can stay relevant if he brings home the bacon to his home state. And the only way he can do that is to allow Democrats to have free hand to pass sweeping legislation.

Intraparty obstructionism only loses seats.

3. Really, 'brings home the bacon to his home state' means

'allow Democrats to have free hand to pass sweeping legislation.' In West Virginia?

Remember West Virginia's recently past Democratic senators, Byrd and Rockefeller.

4. Both operated before the filibuster was abused

And they did bring home the bacon in terms of infrastructure spending. Byrd alone has a wikipedia page dedicated to listing all the places and monuments named after him.

2. Just Watched His Interview On 'Face the Nation'

He's delusional.

[Bettie]

10. He is an old, rich white man

he believes that he is master of the universe.

Sadly, he probably is.

5. For me it's when will he officially change parties....

[PSPS]

6. ... and then we're back to majority leader moscow mitch

[doc03]

7. As a Republican he would just be another of

49 other Republicans. He stays a Democrat he can screw up everything and give the Presidency to Trump or some other nut 2024. The pharacutical industry set his daughter up for a job. Maybe there is something else he can be paid off with.

8. Can't we just buy him off?

Whatever he's getting for W VA, double it. Triple it. Whatever it takes.

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. Every man has a price.

Find out what it is and pay it. Done and dusted.
