Susan. I am sure you know the Machin’s all personally. Perhaps you even helped carry a casket or walked down the isle with one. But, let us be very real for a minute. Byrd and Rockefeller ALL LIE EVERYDAY. And still win 70/30. And Manchin will get ZERO Committee seats, and NO POWER unless he sells out.
Period.
That is the 100000000000000000000000% truth.
But, if he HAS a soul. If he is REAL on any one of these issues.
There is one OTHER thing he could do... one other way to sell out and STILL have power and STAY in office forever...
He could switch parties and give the GOP the majority in the US Senate in exchange for a very senior committee spot.
That is his and OUR only hope.
Pray for that.
He would be to the right of about 6 other Republican Senators anyway.
Love this quote of his:
On April 15, 2006, during an Easter visit to U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq, Manchin generated controversy by posing for photographers while signing two missiles at Balad Air Force Base. One of the messages read, "Sending you to hell, from Almost Heaven, West Virginia." He explained his intentions to the media stating, "I just thought, 'Hey, these are people doing tremendous harm to our people.' I wanted to send them a little message."[5] After receiving several complaints, Manchin issued an apology.
