[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don't think committee assignments are going to matter much when they lose the majority shortly. Manchin is thinking a year out now.

Wait until tonight. If Dems lose, the panic begins. [/quote]

He is negotiating with republicans about chairmanships. Rumors say he is going to switch parties in December.[/quote]

Ohhh this is getting good. I wonder what he’d take to NOT switch over? A dead BBB Act maybe?

The Dems would do anything to prevent this - their ability to bring anything to the table or even continue voting in judges is at stake. [/quote]

The only way Manchin switches is if he’s planning to retire from politics entirely after 2024.  It’s an empty threat.[/quote]

What makes you think he wouldn't run as a Republican and win in West Virginia? He's already the only Democrat who can get re-elected. Or he could just go back to being their Governor again.[/quote]

If he switches, he will get primaried by a more conservative Republican.  When he’s facing primary voters who slew more conservative than average for West Virginia, he will lose.[/quote]

He received more votes as a Democrat primary challenger than the top three Republican challengers combined. I think he could win either way.[/quote]
That was over 10 years ago, when he also won the general election by 10 points.  In 2018, he only won by 3 points so his popularity there is falling.  Since then he voted two to impeach Trump, which really didn’t endear him to WVa Republicans.

Joe Manchin is going to face a very tough race in 2024 either way.[/quote]

Assuming you're right, 36 months is a long way from now. He doesn't care. Its Senators like Mark Kelly who are under threat and the way the Republicans are making moves, the 2022 midterms are not going to be pretty for those dems ignoring the economy, the inflation, the high gas prices, and the high grocery prices a year before their own elections.

What’s nuts is that Democrats ARE the only party and leaders who are focused on these things. The GOP is just spewing propaganda, rhetoric, and working their base into a frenzy about CRT and transgendered bathrooms. The gap is the Dems need waaaaaay better marketing. They need to start treating politics like the business and media game that it is (thanks to the GOP). [/quote]

I do not see the Democrats working on rising inflation.

I do not see the Democrats working on high gas prices.

I do not see the Democrats working on unaffordable grocery and food prices.

I do not see Democrats working on re-opening the economy and fixing the GDP.

I do not see  the Democrats working on the supply chain crisis. The first alert I got from the Biden administration on that subject beyond a smirk and 'it'll last into 2022' was a notice on my phone at 10AM on November 3rd that they had launched a monitoring website. Odd that, the morning after a huge elections loss. [/quote]
