In two years Manchin will be 77yo. Will he even run for another 6 year term?
Methinks Sinema knows something about Manchin that we don’t (yet).
All of these sociopaths are addicted to power.
Switching parties means nothing if you still caucus with Democrats.
One thing you can bet on --- Manchin will do what is best for Manchin.
Bernie Sanders and Angus King are Independents. Party affiliation means nothing if you still vote with the Democrats over 90% of the time.
This means Manchin and Sinema control the Senate. Everyone else can go home. Anyone for Turdle Soup?
I = 2. Sinema and King.
R = 49.
D = 49.
But now, if Manchin were to go to I, the math would then look like this:
I = 3. Sinema, King, Manchin.
R = 49.
D = 48.
Do I have it right?
Where did you count Bernie!
"But now, if Manchin were to go to I, the math would then look like this:"
I = 4. Sinema, King, Manchin, Sanders.
R = 49.
D = 47.
True, Sanders and King would still caucus with the Democrats, but that brings them up to 49 votes, and Sinema and Manchin would still rule the roost. Of course, squish Republicans might still cave to Chuckie, but on paper, Republicans would suddenly look much stronger.
Interesting times. Hope Manchin goes Indy!
Sinema has said Manchin is her role model.
“ Sinema has said Manchin is her role model.”

Wow, she admires DUPLICITY?
You should put Romney, Collins and Murkowski in the “D” column.
That is interesting!
Really doubt Manchin would make the move on principle. He would want a benefit
A “principled Manchin” is an oxymoron.
I'm sure Biden and Pelosi refer to Manchin as "the kid."
Sinema has more balls than John McCain.
Disgusting isn't it?
