Very true, although I see Joe as more of an opportunist. But if it increases the margin in the Senate, no complaints from me.
When the going gets tough, the weak fold. Manchin is a folder. He had his chance a long time ago to make a command decision and failed at that by siding with the establishment of his state that was ripe for flipping its long history of predominately Democrat rule after the passing of Robert KKK Byrd.
Besides being a noodle, he used his power to effect his daughter’s raping of those who needed the EpiPen. I have very little respect for this weasel and want him relegated to have to defend his record in 2018 just like 22 other Democrat Senators will be, or retiring because their polling shows they cannot win.
How long will it take for him to join the Gang of 8? I say go with what we have and not only reshuffle the deck in 18 but also weed out the establishment pool by the likes of Jeff Flake. The let the bulls run in a china shop built exclusively for them.
