White House and Republican officials are looking at Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., as a candidate to take the top spot at the Energy Department, as a plan is being looked at moving Secretary Rick Perry to lead the Homeland Security Department.

Trump playing 3d Chess while Ryan is trying to learn tick-tac-toe.
Winning and we don’t have to spend a dime trying to defeat him.
Maybe Traitor McCain croaks sooner than later and takes the long-game yurtle with him.
balderdash, ridiculous balderdash
“For Manchin to be worth appointing as a Cabinet Secretary, he should have voted on the Healthcare Bill.”
In theory I agree but then again he didn’t so move him out and replace him with someone who will. Does he or does he not buy into the AGW BS? If his mind is right on this then I am definitely OK with him at Energy, after all Perry said he thought man was contributing to man made global warming that should have been a deal killer.
Just as long as Texas doesn’t get Perry back, I am OK with it.
People on the ground in WV are pro Trump. I’m guessing the day will come when Manchin would have to switch parties to get reelected.
My husband MIGHT disagree. LOL Nothing wrong with appreciation.
OMG, NOOOOO! Perry goes with whichever the direction the wind is blowing. Bleepin’ idiot. He did NOTHING for Texas. Thank goodness Texas governors are nothing more than pretty title holders and have zero power. All Gov. Goodhair had to do was look pretty and he couldn’t pull that off.
Texas led in job creation for years. I think he was good at looking pretty, too.
Have to eat dinner...and praying everything is okay when I get back.

Once again, Texas governors have zero power. It’s all about the legislature. Your neighbor’s cat could do the job.
That’s right. There were others who were ready to vote that way but didn’t because their votes weren’t needed. In other words, their votes are strictly political currency. They don’t vote their principles because they don’t have any.
Screw up and move up. Peter Principle. Now, put Perry in a position where he has to give voters what they want nationwide...or be done.
After the Governor switched parties, I’ve been wondering when Manchin would move. That would be better to have happen right now. Then the Governor could appoint a solid conservative Republican without any flak, assuming Manchin actually is interested in an appointment within the administration.
Afraid you're right.
Everything they do is geared toward their own re-election.
Most of them would hand the nation over to the muslims or the NORKS if they thought it would get them re-elected.
Those with the safest voter majorities or those ready to retire go out front with the "NO" vote.
That enables those with a less secure voter base to lurk in the background unless their "NO" vote is really needed.
They are always manipulating situations to avoid coming out front with positions and votes that tell the true story.
Roger that Lurk! Illegals and muzzie lover LaRaza Ricarrdo Perrynista shouldn’t be anywhere near President Trump’s administration.
You mean, Joe (Oh my, they somehow tricked me into voting for the ACA despite the fact I knew they would use funds to pay for abortions - oh dear - what shall I do now?) Manchin? That Joe Manchin?
Great idea if Manchin is interested.
Plus that is a seat the GOP could win in WV.
All depends if Manchin wants to get out
from Chuchie’s Schumer’ thumb.
The sooner McLame crooks, the better off we will be.
Do they really think Manchin is that stupid?
