So, if Manchin switches to Independent but would still caucus with the DEMs, how does that change anything?

Republican Sen. Mike Lee said he ‘absolutely’ thinks Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin should switch parties on ‘Sunday Night in America’ Manchin isn't an idiot. He knows that if he switches to the Republicans he gets primaried out in 2024. If he stays with the Democrats he has a chance of reelection. A dwindling chance but still a chance.

I don’t see how any self-respecting human being could be a Democrat

Why leave a party where you control the agenda with your vote to become just one of 5-6 other squish “moderates”?

Manchin was huddling with Biden & Schumer over the weekend. They were probably threshing out a deal while Biden alternated between nappy-time and ice cream snacks.
My gut tells me that Manchin is about to flip.

Right now Manchin is the most powerful man in the Senate, in Congress and in Washington. No part of the president's agenda will be accomplished without his say-so, and he can extract enormous concessions from the Democrats this way. If he switches to the GOP, he just becomes another never-Trumper liberal Republican in a crowd of them. He'd have to be an idiot to switch.

Munchkin says he is a moderate. He is no such thing.

Manchin is holding out for more goodies, that’s all.

Right now, if Manchin continues to throw monkey wrenches in Biden’s agenda, then the Republicans have him right where they want him.
The country is in a terrible mess and the Democrats are in nominal control of Congress as well as the White House. If Manchin switches to Republican, giving Republicans a majority in the Senate, the Democrats have even more ammunition than now to say, “You see? We’re trying to do something to help but the Republicans won’t let us.”
So if McConnell can outbribe Schumer in getting Manchin to be a trouble-maker in return for some future promises, it’s better for Manchin to stay where he is, for now.
