Manchin on Dems Holding the Senate: It’s a ‘Toss-Up’ — Midterms ‘Going to Be Very Close’
Breitbart ^ | 09/27/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/27/2022 12:28:35 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said Tuesday on CNN’s “New Day” that the Democratic Party’s chances of holding a majority in the U.S. Senate after the midterms were a “toss-up.”

Anchor Brianna Keilar asked, “Do you think Democrats can hold the Senate here in six weeks?”

Manchin said, “I think we have some tremendous candidates. Every candidate we have is experienced. They are well-rounded and they are balanced. So I think that’s the advantage the Democrats would have right now. I know that there is a movement and any midyear election is always a challenging thing. I think these elections are going to be a toss-up. I think it is going to be very close.”

I hope your party is taken to the trash at the polls. Screw you.

The democrat party is the enemy within.

I hope it isn’t close. I want to see the Democrat party lose 2/3 of their seats.

But if only 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for reelection at any time, that would be a pretty tall order.

If Manchin does not change parties to Republican he is dead meat in two years 2024. If he did it today before the midterms he might survive. If he does it after the midterms he is history. He will then be branded an opportunist, which he is.

My one question about Joe Manchin is what are his real political philosophical beliefs? I have no idea least he is a political opportunist of which I am sure.

Who is Joe Manchin?

Yes, but this does sound like rat internal polls are looking pretty bad.

The larger question, regardless of election outcome, is who will be the next Jim Jeffords?

But what if it is close?

Vote for genitals/chopping genitals (D) or vote for food to eat (R)?

Tough choice for far too many people these days.

We have seen enough to know that the 2020 election was stolen.

After THAT little revelation, ANY suggestion that we are a 50/50
nation with the national support for the election stealers balanced
upon a knife edge against those the election was stolen from, is
nothing more than bold and desperate gaslighting at this point.

That our elections are almost always 50/50 toss-ups has LONG
been one of the BIGGEST LIES we have been routinely fed for decades.

It is done so that you will be less likely to object when your side loses
pretty much every time. (Even when your side wins. They need Rinos, too.)

Our only way back to Liberty and Justice is to overwhelm their systems of

The democrat party is the enemy within.

RINOs are the enemy within.

If everyone with an (r) after their name had been a constitutional conservative in the state legislatures and Congress, Trump would be president and we would not be living in the woke clown world we must presently endure. It wouldn't matter a hill of beans what Democrats did if that were so.

RINOs are embedded spies. Truly the enemy within.

I think if the demonrats are saying tossup, they expect to lose.

Its a toss up?

hardly.

The battle is won...BIGLY !

The dems can spend all the money they want. They are ON THE RUN! Including Manchin's machine in WV.

No way they can stop this BIG RED WAVE.

Issued drive elections (honest one’s at least, and that is a big if).

There is only abortion for them. In blue places, maybe. In red and purple, I don’t think abortion overcomes the poop tide that the dems have brought on themselves:

Gas prices rising again.

Inflation in general.

The groomer and woke curriculum that they are forcing on children.

The border mess.

And last but not least, rampant crime.

When abortion Karen’s getting car jacked or her children having fentanyl pushed them at school, its hard to concentrate on abortion.

My back of the envelope 2022 Senate races prediction (from 5 days ago):

Ohio, Wisconsin, Nevada and North Carolina are sure wins.

Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania are probable wins.

New Hampshire conceivable but probably out of reach.

Washington, Colorado, likely out of reach.

Result: 53 Republican senators

At least 52 are needed to prevent the likes of Mitt Romney becoming the Republican equivalent of Joe Manchin and holding the party hostage.

From your prediction to God’s ears.

But Wisconsin? I don’t know. I can see Milwaukee handing the election to the dems, ten days after Johson wins.

I agree. Also is not currently 50:50 with heels-up Harris as tie-breaker. I is closer o 56..58 to 42..44 with a strong whiff of RINO droppings depending on the day an the donors.

Since sketching out that prediction last week, I am more confident of Wisconsin and would move Georgia up a notch to join Ohio and North Carolina.

Washington and New Hampshire seem less far out of reach but still unlikely. I think Trafalgar put Smiley only about two points behind in Washington but that could only happen in a tsunami. The general is gaining in New Hampshire but he has much to gain.

I don't have any thoughts on longshot possibilities in Colorado, any insights?
