I still remember the campaign ad he did about ObaMaoCare, literally shooting a printed out version of the bill with a rifle.

He stated rhat he wanted to repeal the billIIRC.

Did he do what he said he was gonna do? No.

If GOP loses both Georgia senate seats, the Dems will control the senate - unless Manchin switches. In that scenario, I would throw him a welcome party.

GFY sport. Mitch refused to recess for FOUR years to prevent Trump from making any recess appointments. Ryan held constant threats of impeachment out to stop Trump from firing Sessions. The two Georgia vichy Republican senators can’t be bothered to fight against the rigger Georgia vote against Trump. The vaunted Amy Coney Barrett said Texas had no standing to sue someone they are party to a contract with.
Republicans across the board have attacked Trump. His own AG hid the Biden China and Ukraine bribery for two years and only admitted it when the information was given to Rudy by the computer repairman.

The dems ARE on the march and in the last year have given us lockdowns, the destruction of everything in our culture from statues to church, to holidays to a family vacation. They have expanded censorship like never before, they have killed businesses everywhere.

Why would you join the losers who didn’t even try to stop that?

You speak like a rock solid republican. (that ain’t a compliment)

He’ll do just what Nancy Pelosi tells him to do .

He voted to Impeach Trump is phony scheme.

He voted against Amy Coney Barrett.

1) Dems do what Nancy says.

2) Dems vote in blocs

At the end of the day, what difference does it make? Lyn’ Ted was on board voting for Lee’s H1B giveaway, Which undermines American workers. It’s hard to find a single senator or representative who actually consistently and honestly represent us.

Honestly, we could use a lot more Manchins and Gabbards and a lot fewer Romneys and Sasses.

Thanks you for the nice compliment.

Now go back and play in your democrat underground sandbox.

Lets add one more example... ‘and DesertRhino’ shoots at his own side every chance he gets.’

He’s not switching parties especially after the Democrats are successful in stealing the two Senate seats in Georgia, which sadly we know will happen. Being a “maverick” is useless as a member of the minority, but as a member of the majority he has more leverage.

Uh, right now the Senate is 50 Republicans and 48 Democrats, with the two Georgia seats to be decided January 5th. If the RATs take the two Georgia seats, the Senate will be 50-50 with the VP as tiebreaker.

If Manchin then switches to the Republicans, the Senate would be 51-49 Republican.

Now do you get it?

Joe Manchin is a two faced con man. He’s found glory on the beltway gravy train and he isn’t about to mess it up by letting morals get in his way.

No, he is a Democrat and we don’t want him.

We have enough Democrats wearing R jerseys already.

Joe Biden is most likely going to be the next president, as horrible as that is to say. The RATS are gonna steal the two Georgia Senate seats. Kamala Harris will be the VP, and remember we have turncoats like Romney, Collins and Murkowski who are not reliable and would switch parties on a dime if it was 50-50! Manchin isn’t going anywhere. Maybe you’re the one who doesn’t get it!

If the Senate is 50-50, then he will be able to name his price.

Absolutely!

He jumps as high as Nancy and Chuck tell him to and then six weeks before an Election he calls himself a Conservative, and Idiots fall for it.

One commercial with a Gun every six years. What fools

This is like clock work. Machin always plays the virtuous “moderate” democrat just after the democrats do something particularly shocking. “Oh, people of West Virginia, you can’t vote me out! I am your bulwark against those crazy, extreme democrats. You have to keep voting me back in. See what a great job I have done protecting you from the crazy left!”

No Joe,you chose the party, and you have watched it change from the party of the common laborer into the party of welfare cheats, corrupt wall street mogul’s, and open border advocate’s. You had your chance to become a Republican when Ronald Reagan changed the party from the corporate, and banking, wall street, high finance world into the party of the common man. President Trump is carrying out that legacy, and you still stand on the sidelines and pretend that Democrats are the party of the common man, wrong, they are the party of socialism/communism.

Collins, Murky, Romney, Lee, Sasse, Shelby, Tillis, and Graham.

I doubt you’ll see 50 / 50 ever.
