Senator Manchin threatens to leave the Democratic Party.

[BidenPresident]

I say, heave hoe, leave.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Sounds like a plan.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Yes, give the Senate to the GOP! That'll do wonders for the Democrat agenda...

 

[Hawkeye10]

He would be an independent....I actually dont know what would happen to the balance of power in the chamber.

Depends on who he caucuses with.

 

[Hawkeye10]

Depends on who he caucuses with.

Does he have to?

 

[BidenPresident]

Manchin is already opposing the Democrats. Call his bluff. See where that gets him.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Does he have to?

No, but it is the norm...

 

[Stone]

Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee haw haw haw haw

 

[Hawkeye10]

No, but it is the norm...

So then what you are telling me is that if he does this we have no idea of how the Senate will function?

I don't know if it could be any more dysfunctional than it is...

 

[BidenPresident]

Senate is very functional. You just hate they're trying to help our nation.

And you believe Manchin. I do not. His actions are obvious.

 

[Rusty Bell 65]

What are they doing to help us?

 

[Hawkeye10]

I have always till now been against switching parties after elected.

This is not fair to the citizens.

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Democrats are trying to fuck the country and gain more power.

 

[cancel2 2022]

Yes, give the Senate to the GOP! That'll do wonders for the Democrat agenda...

If he and Sinema migrate to GOP do they take their voting rights with them?

 

[T. A. Gardner]

Well, it is and it isn't.

It is in the sense that a politician does it because they ran on a platform and their party is completely out-of-step with that platform. So it is fair to the people that voted for that politician to see them switch so they can get their agenda accomplished as promised.

It isn't in the sense that if people voted for a party rather than the candidate they they aren't getting what they voted for.
