It will build on our Senate majority which is vital if Trump is going to get his judicial nominees appointed.

The Democrats will not like that appointment because it is likely to give us a long-term hold on that US Senate seat. I love it!

I would argue that Manchin can do no real harm as Secretary, whereas a new republican senator is extremely valuable

He’ll take out some, God will take out others. RINO free by 2023. Makes a good slogan.

“Another swamp controlled R would vote no.”

At least this strategy forces the “swamp controlled R” out into the open.

Perry is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, Homeland Security is the last place for that dolt, he doesn’t deserve to be Energy Secretary.

You don't have a heart. </s>

Brilliant moves by the Chessmaster-in-Chief !

I'll bet Nancy Pelousy and Schmucky Schumer are already kicking their dogs and gulping handfuls of Tylenol 3s.

Perry to Homeland Security.
Manchin to Energy.
The new Republican governor of WV will appoint someone who will vote for repeal of ObamaCare.

There was no evidence presented that satan is involved or acting with regard to Manchin

Probably, but flopping a month or two after just voting for it would look ridiculous - much more so than 2 or 3 years ago.

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan.

Maybe Traitor McCain croaks sooner than later and takes the long-game yurtle with him.
