I think we could sway him and the senator from ND to switch to Independents caucausing with the Republicans. Can we find 3 more?
The best we can hope for is that he'll occasionally be a Democratic "maverick" and occasionally work with Republicans.
If and when that happens, he'll get hammered by liberals in DC. They can be vicious. So it's important for conservatives back home to drop him a note to say "thanks."
