Then the newly Republican governor gets to appoint a Senator..
Good point.
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 wonder if he’d have himself appointed.
John Raese as a caretaker?
Bingo.... "Fleporblog" over @ CTH has outlined Team Trump's 3D Chess to make this happen and that was a repost from "Fredw2". This gives us 50 and the Pence +1 to Repeal & Replace unless another on of the Gang of 11 RINO's throws a monkey wrench in the gear box.
With kudo's to "Flep" and "Fredw2" since you can't link to individual post here is an excerpted take on it, it makes sense to me....:
" Fred2w wrote the following last night: Our President is about to stake a knife into the side of the Democrats and Lucifer from AZ. Folks we may see the greatest 4D chess move ever seen in politics! I can’t begin to tell you how amazing this coup will be. Our President does the Boy Scouts Jamboree in WV in early July. At the same time, the Democrat Governor visits the WH twice in July and has Eric Trump over to his home and goes hunting with Don Jr. Our President goes back to WV for a rally before he breaks for vacation. The Governor of WV decides that he is leaving the Democrat party to become a Republican. He announces his decision on the stage with our President by his side. The crowd initially boos him when he starts speaking but by the time he ends his speech by saying our President is a good man and a great President, the crowd goes nuts! Back to WV! Our President will offer Democrat Senator from WV, Joe Manchin, the Secretary of Energy position. The NOW Republican Governor will replace him with a Republican Senator. It will allow our margin to hit 53 Republicans. This will neutralize Lucifer’s vote for the Skinny Repeal Bill. Now we will have 50 YES votes. Senator McConnell could easily attach the Skinny Repeal to the TAX Reform Bill knowing that we have 50 required votes and can use reconciliation to take care of both in one bill during the same fiscal year."
