Manchin is in such a TRUMP state that is path to survival is VOTE: “YES” and become either an (I) or a (R) and just say this (D) Party is no longer mine. Could Trump actually broker a deal and support him and give his opponent another slot in government?
A better way would be to stay neutral and give Manchin at least a cush subcabinet level appointment if he goes on to lose. We need to get everyone on record with a vote BEFORE the midterms.
