In this fight, Manchin has the nuclear weapons, and the Republicans can put them on their missiles.

“Wouldn't stop the demonRats to hillary him. “Manchin and family commit suicide; film at 11””

Then the GOP governor appoints a Republican Senator and Mitch is back in charge. Doubt they will do it though.

Manchin is a member of Schumer’s leadership team and Schumer has several points of leverage, including the power to replace him as chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Schumer is smart enough to know that with a 50-50 senate, Joe can write his own ticket by switching parties {if he brings the tranny bitch from AZ with him, just for insurance}.

Chuck knows that the DemonRAT Jews are just hanging with him, but only by a thread, and he loves the trappings of power more than results for the crazies.

Chuckie is into bribery, strong arming is his weak suit.

Senator Joe Manchin is one of the greatest Americans alive in our current culture and seems to be close to joining the Republican Party. He doesn’t go along with Socialism. Schumer understands this dilemma.

Your first post was bad, the second was over the top.

We know you are on Joe's payroll, but are you sleeping with him?

"greatest Americans alive" ???WTF???

We're finally in a position of not having to worry about the RINOs. If Manchin flips to Republican, there are no Republicans who would switch the other way.

Murkowski is up for reelection and would certainly lose as a Democrat in Alaska. She may figure she's going to lose anyway, but why flip off your state by screwing your party one last time?

Collins probably won't flip because she knows she'd be treated worse than Jim Jeffords if she went Democrat.

And... both Murkowski and Collins know they'd have more power in a 51-49 R Senate than in a 50-50 D Senate.
