If Manchin is stripped of his Chair...what's he going to do? Is he going to caucus with the Repubs? If so, it's the end of his career. It's not like he's going to win a Repub primary in WV, and it will definitely end his chances as a Democrat.

But the assertion seems to be that we need him more than he needs us for some reason. I don't believe it for a nanosecond.
