He will never vote with them unless he’s not needed. Look and Manchin. Not one ounce of help and it won’t change
Exactly. And Manchin is a great example. Yet the GOP Chairman is quoted as saying he hopes Jones will vote with Republicans. So the RINOs actually think that they are owed some payment for all the work they invested in helping to elect Jones.
Yeah, Jones will vote with Republicans only when it absolutely has no bearing or meaning on any outcome. Even then, McConnell will still help his buddy Jones by giving Jones some meaningless procedural vote to help Jones demonstrate to the gullible that he is "independent".
