I want the Dem leadership to do the same thing to Manchin
that they did to Franken, short of pushing him out of office

What did the Dem leadership "do" to Franken, exactly?

One observation I have TheFarseer May 2021 #56

I get your point, but StarfishSaver May 2021 #62

I was thinking similar thoughts Cha May 2021 #69

I want the Dem leadership to do the same thing to Manchin wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #78

What exactly do you think they should "do" to Manchin "short of pushing him out of office"? StarfishSaver May 2021 #79

Right, I'm betting McConnell's just itchin to be Majority Leader again Budi May 2021 #83

Then let that fucking Liebercrat switch parties wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #87

I just love when Democrats come up with these kind of ridiculous "solutions" StarfishSaver May 2021 #90

Just like they did in 2009-2010 n/t wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #91

You mean when they ended the recession, saved the economy, passed Obamacare, rescued auto industry StarfishSaver May 2021 #95

And lost the house? Then the Senate? wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #98

Two of the reasons we lost the House and then the Senate are 1) we WERE StarfishSaver May 2021 #100

In Obama's case, it is the right that sunk the legislative majorities wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #113

Go back and look at what happened in 2010 StarfishSaver May 2021 #118

Look at the legislative record wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #121

Sinema voted against bills Obama supported in 2010? StarfishSaver May 2021 #124

Read and learn wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #126

We were talking about how Democrats lost majorities in 2010. StarfishSaver May 2021 #128

The point of that post wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #129

Wait, you want McConnell to be Majority Leader? mcar May 2021 #94

Joe Manchin can't switch parties wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #114

So what are you talking about, then? mcar May 2021 #131

McConnel will not get control of the Senate wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #133

From Jane Mayer's Al Franken piece wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #86

You said they should do what they did to Franken short of forcing him to resign StarfishSaver May 2021 #89

If the way a member of the caucus votes will cost them power wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #92

No. That's not how it works StarfishSaver May 2021 #96

So Repukes know how to keep members in line, but Dems don't? wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #99

Do you want Democrats to "keep Members in line" the way Republicans do? StarfishSaver May 2021 #101

Keeping Democrats in line is not turning into Republicans wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #111

You keep taking about "getting them in line" but have offered no suggestions for doing that StarfishSaver May 2021 #116

Yes, it is the party leader's job to "snack members round" wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #117

Actually, it's not StarfishSaver May 2021 #119

What's the point of having party leaders if they don't lead wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #120

One of the reasons I'm a Democrat is that we don't think "leading" means forcing everyo in ourbranks StarfishSaver May 2021 #122

This doesn't make any sense mcar May 2021 #93

Read the thread n/t wellst0nev0ter May 2021 #115

They might not have done anything to Franken treestar May 2021 #123

Good point StarfishSaver May 2021 #125
