Will the cranky liberals bashing United States Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) & Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) result in both switching political parties ?

A.) YES

B.) NO

C.) TDB

 

[The Whispering Monk]

It's possible in both cases. Manchin b/c I think he's feeling like his party is leaving him. In Sinema's case, it may be because of all the stupid hate getting pushed against her from the extreme left's followers.

There was some speculation Manchin might switch to Independent but caucus with the Dems (see Lieberman party switch in 2006).

I'll be amazed if Sinema bolts to the GOP.

Betcha McConnell is laughing his ass off!

Following US Senate contests to watch this fall:
*AZ: Rumors swirling AZ Governor Doug Ducey (R) jump in at the last minute.

*GA: Backlash against Warnock, Abrams & the Woke Culture is escalating.

*NV: NV Dems are scared of the backlash brewing over there.

*NH

*PA: PA Dems & DSCC hoping US Rep. Connor Lamb (D-PA) becomes the nominee for United States Senator.

*CO: Dana Perino of Fox News thinks United States Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) might be in for a shock this fall.

I don't follow Perino. Does she think he'll get ambushed by the left in a primary or lose to a Republican in the general? Colorado reversing its course of statewide elections going to Democrats would be quite a surprise indeed.

She thinks someone on the GOP side will give Bennet a scare in November (see 2014 VA US Senate contest).

Article focuses on John Fetterman, who from what I can gather is basically larping as working-class. I should’ve saved an older link about the loss of dems in rural counties. They’re fleeing enemy territory.

Yeah the entire tone of the artical is why the people in these rural counties hate their guts.

 

[SchrodingersWehraboo]

And the beating around the bush about “improving outreach” and “building infrastructure” with no mention of policy positions shifting.

Good Morning Sietch family. Here's an excerpt from the book "This Will Not Pass" by NTY reporters Jonathan Martin & Alexander Burns. In the book, it detailed how United States Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) blocking key, major parts of the Biden administration's legislative agenda including one incident where Sinema channeled her inner DeSantis in being hostile about mask-wearing in the White House.

peacefully handing down power to the next generation so they can continue the cause is fundamentally a traditionalist thing because that's litterally how tradition works. The democrats are anti tradition....

Tell that to several of the GOPers who've been around since the 1970s.
