A trio of swing-state senators got a lot of love from their fellow Democrats after voting “guilty” on two articles of impeachment against President Trump Wednesday, as their colleagues hailed them for political courage.

Immediately after their historic votes, Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.; Doug Jones, D-Ala., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., were rushed by fellow Democrat lawmakers who gave them hugs, pats on the back and handshakes.

As the three undecided Democrats before Wednesday’s vote, and under tremendous pressure from all sides, their decision to stick with their party led to an outpouring of support.

He wants to try an imitate the Clinton 92 strategy.

Appear as the reasonable middle of the road moderate splits the difference between the extremes. Just like Slick did! Without the zipper problem (as far as I know!) and the harridan wife.

Zactly!

And I think the DNC will buy it if Buttgrabber, Fauxahauntus and Crazy Bernie are still around after the first ballot and delegates are released.

But why risk it in 2020?
Trump’s not going to lose.
Manchin can’t carry his home state in 2020.
His impeachment vote is still a hot button and will be.
Why not play that card in 2024, when that vote is lost in the mists of time and he’s running against Not-Trump a generic GOP politician.

No joke, it really happened. The audacity was breathtaking. That should’ve been in every Morrisey ad from day #1. We had it up here on FR, so I’m surprised you didn’t see it. When it came out, I thought Manchin was toast. Well, he just finished his career yesterday siding with the coup plotters and giving the middle finger to every resident of West Virginia (and the rest of the country, too).

He didn’t use it!
That started rumors repeated by people I know that Morrissey was secretly pro-choice.
