Heidi has plans to switch parties, as her state is swinging more Trumpward.

It would be swell if she did, but what’s she waiting for?
I hope she’s not playing the President.
Hard to imagine, since Trump beat Hillary 51 counties to 2. He topped 80% in 15 of 53 counties and won the state overall 64-27. Hillary only got 4.4 times as many votes as Gary Johnson (93k to 21k... she got 15 times Gary Johnson's total nationally)
The two counties that Hillary took totaled less than 5000 votes between them... and one was the home of the DAPL Pipeline "protest" for most of the winter of 2016-17 (Sioux County, 1171 total votes).
Local radio and talk shows have not been very supportive of Heidi Heitkamp for the last several months.
Heidi Heitkamp has an 85% leftist rating from the ACU. If she switched to the Republicans, she’d be easily defeated in a primary. Same with Manchin in WV.
