Manchin was often in position to call some shots. No longer, unless....
Manchin enjoyed his power position and wants to regain it, flipping to Republican, making it 50-50 again, stopping much committee shenanigans. That doesn’t solve the problem with Synema now elevated to the power spot, who sometimes halts the D idiocy and sides with Rs.
Nonetheless, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something, anything positive about the state of affairs.
If the Republican geldings can’t even stand up against Mitch, they’re not going to stand up against the Demonicrats.
Does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, Manchin and/or Sinema (preferably both) might turn and just go Independent?
Nothing will stop Biden judges.
Horsecrap. The ONLY reason the dems went this far to steal another election is to stack the SCOTUS, legalize election fraud, and disarm the citizenry. They are very well aware conservatives cannot return to power because of what is at stake with all the laws that were broken.
We are still playing checkers.
YES!!!
Gridlock
In all of my adult life, when Dems are in charge, the Republicans lose their collective spines. When Republicans are in charge, the Dems continue to act as if they're in charge and the Republicans let them, and cave. There are many Republicans that act as Democrats, but there are no Democrats that ever act as Republicans.
Why is it that when the Republicans have a majority in the Senate, they can’t get anything done without getting 60 votes, whereas the Democrats only need 51 (or 50 when the VP is a Democrat)?
We should have won the GA, PA, AZ, and NV Senate races. As for the House, we should have a 20-40 seat majority. Then there’s the governor races where we should have won in AZ, WI, MI and PA. Trying to portray the midterms as a victory for us is putting lipstick on a pig.
