I don’t care about who “caucuses” with whom. You’re either a democrat, a Republican or independent.

Well, "feelings" don't matter - who has the largest number of members in their caucus controls the chamber. And that at present is the Democrats.

What will be best for everyone, is Manchin join her as an independent and neither one of them caucus with either party.

A 49-49 Senate with no majority. That would be a good thing, I think.

The guy that wrote this is a short sighted fool.

Here’s what changes. Traitor Joe Manchin has lost the advantage of being able to vote for every conservative bill he can get his hands on KNOWING that each one will fail. He would have had Chuckie’s permission, now he will have to make real Democrat votes that won’t help him in 2024.
Traitor Joe is quitting the Senate run for governor of West Va. and needs to fool voters into believing he is a conservative in the most Republican state east of the Mississippi.
Before Sinema’s stunt he could vote straight conservative to fool the voters in West Va. Now that’s over. He will be able to do that from time to time with help from Willard Lisa or Susan but don’t bet on that. But basically Joe’s “Hey I did vote for that and I didn’t vote for that,” charade is over.
In the meantime Sinema can meet with people like Hawley and Cruz and vote with them even when they are losing and help her 2024 re-election.
A little thought and some research helps turn out better pieces.
