He’ll have no trouble at all.
Romney first in line...........................
Paging Linda !
Piece of cake. So many of the old boy network in the Senate would be chomping at the bit to be in the headlines.
No sweat. Lindsey and Milt got him covered.
Collins, Murkowski and/or Grahamnesty will help, I’m sure! Phuckin quislings!
Interesting...
Manchin got betrayed, they promised him things for his vote, then they never delivered.....
So this may be him having some revenge, or could just be setting the stage to create a fight that isn’t really a fight.
This could absolutely crimp their desire to replace Sotomayor before the elecition... or it could be play acting, to help add drama to get the democrat base engaged.
At this point, I think their strategy is to get Sotomayor to retire, and time the fight for her replacement to be as close to the election as possible.. to gin up the base over Abortion. The problem is right now, they control the Senate, so Republicans can’t stop them, so no real fight here if they want someone they can appoint them.
So, is Manchin actually “getting back” at the betrayal, or is he setting the stage so that they can have a fight where they can blame republicans and make November “Abortion” just like the last midterm?
If I had to lay odds, I bet Manchin does want to get back at being sold out, but he’s also spent a lifetime in the Democrat machine... so may be doing his one last dutiful duty for the party before he retires... with a big promise on the back end.
Announcing bids it looks like?
The republican caucus has a lot of democrats pretending to be republicans. Munchkin will have no trouble finding a “republican”.
It has to do with his “supposed no labels” party. Bipartisan you know. He can’t pretend to be bipartisan and vote flat out for RAT policy now. He needs one of a plentiful amount of treacherous RINOs to make him look legit.
He knows he has got this.
Romney, Lankford, Thune…. and many more RINO’s will be glad to offer their vote
Paging Senator Mittens, paging senator Mittens.
