Do Manchema care if we lose Congress?

Wondering how my fellow Democrats think Senators Manchin and Sinema will react if we lose control of the House, Senate or god forbid, both in November?

Will they be upset, relieved or indifferent?

I doubt seriously they'll happy since if McConnell takes over as majority leader they'll lose their status and influence. Especially with Manchin who will receive a lot less of the media attention he craves.

Personally I think they'll be relieved. Not to have to deal with pesky progressives hounding them to pass Biden's legislative agenda. They'll have a lighter workload and can devote more time to their rich lobbyists and "Republican friends from across the aisle "

I really, really hope we don't have to find out. But the one thing we know for sure: Manchin and Sinema will be fine ($$$) either way.

Sinema is a member of the LGBT community. Manchin voted to impeach Cheeto Mussolini
twice.
