Arlene Spectator comes to mind.
Enough said.
Manchin is FAR more likely to switch IMO. West Virginia is an overwhelmingly Republican state now. If he wants to have a political future, he probably needs to be a Republican.
Troglodyte needs to name names or it didn’t happen and he go right back to the cave he crawled out of.
“They had MAGA hats and hammers”...
I’m sure this happens all the time with both parties.
