Wow! This is great news.
If the Pubs win in Louisiana they will have 54 seats and if they convince Manchin to switch to the Pubs we would have 55 seats.
Throw in a few (D)himmis with sense enough left to value their political survival over propping up lameduckshit Ø, and bingo .. vetoes go poof !
Why would you want Manchin in the Republican Party? He voted with Obama on 80% of the votes. Screw him.
