Once someone becomes a ‘traitor’ he becomes trustworthy to no one.
Please do it now and cancel out the odious John McCain’s vote.
One has to admire the switch solely due to strategery. He went from beatable to almost unbeatable with a fairly obvious choice.
If Donnelly wasn't such a shithead mushmouth who has burned too many bridges he would be wise to consider the same, particularly if Bayh is serious about going back to the Senate (and he is).
Let them switch then primary them out.
Same here and I expect one more Red State Senator to do the same next year!
YOU'LL BE SORRRRRRRRRRY!
But I don't think he'll jump. He's a clone of Slick and IMO has eyes on 1600.
For all of you bitching and moaning about a dem switching sides...
Remember Reagan switched
He needs to do this now and be the decisive vote on health care, but I expect dithering and ankle showing instead.
Too bad he’s not in the Senate. He could switch out McCain.
And I am sure the GOP-e is dumb enough to go for it.
He will never vote Conservative on any key vote
I don’t trust this guy. Let the RATs keep him.
OK, Joe, show us you mean it by not only voting for Linda Grahamnesty’s partial O’care repeal, but by bringing at least ONE of your Dem colleagues along (on the vote, not switching parties).
I am skeptical - he’s been anti-gun and pro-union, and all of the rest of the Dem/Leftist talking points for quite a while, with little to distinguish himself from them other than running scared a bit near an election.
Prove it, Joe!
Author doesn’t understand the difference between a Senator and a Representative, and uses the terms interchangeably.
Manchin is in the SENATE and so is not “Rep.” but rather “Senator” Manchin.
If he flips it will mean we can lose 4 Republican Senators on any given vote and still carry a bill with Pence breaking a tie.
I hope he does it, votes for Graham-Cassidy and then McCain can ESAD
Doesn’t Munchkin say he is considering this about once a year?
DC unlawful on either side. Return to USConstitution or perish.
Why not? Manchin can be a do nothing Republican, get reelected and let the Dems do all the heavy lifting advancing the progressive agenda?
Linda Grahamnesty has predicted that at least one DemocRAT will vote Yes on Graham-Cassidy. Maybe this is what he was talking about.
Whatever....we have lots of R dems, and the dems still run things.
Ooh, change parties, look at meeeee! S/
We’re really gonna role back the big bad ol government now.
We just need a larger majority of friggin phony Rs YAy.
