Now is the time to make the best possible offer to Joe Manchin to have him switch parties. Committee Chairmanships, Joe Manchin Federal Institute for Advancement of Bowling HQ in Morgantown, etc., etc., etc. - whatever it takes to end this charade of Democratic majority in the Senate. I recall Shelby switching parties during the Reagan Administration. It happens. But now is the time it is the most valuable marginal switch in history. In a state that went for Trump by 70-30 in 2020, and with a re-election in 2022 that would be a lock as a Republican - it’s time to make him an offer he can’t refuse.
I don’t want turncoats.
