Imagine being President and spending your days being one of the 20 or so people who watch Fox Business.

If the president had a drug habit, would there be anyone who is legally obligated to disclose it? I mean let's say he turns out to be a huge cocaine addict. Now what?

Brony Car posted:I don't know if there's any amount of pork you could throw at Manchin to overcome the resistance of the state's entrenched coal interests. The only way they will let any politician live to see another term is if renewable energy gets killed or if coal dies its inevitable death earlier than expected. It’s not just pressure from West Virginia’s entrenched coal interests. It’s that he’s part of these entrenched interests himself. https://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2011/07/26/26greenwire-sen-manchin-maintains-lucrative-ties-to-family-64717.html quote:Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is more than just a supporter of his state's influential coal producers -- he's a full-fledged industry insider. He handed control of it over to his son after he got elected.

GreyjoyBastard posted:One thing Housedems could do, if they're living in fear of Manchin giving bipartisan cover to anti climate murder of legislation (which, again, he can do right now if he's willing to be the guy holding the knife), could be bribing the poo poo out of West Virginia with renewable energy money. Just give the rear end in a top hat his pound of flesh. Only works if they're actually going to hold his feet to the fire re: voting with the caucus. Otherwise he'll laugh his way to re-election with an (R) and visible proof of doing something for the state to sell himself with.

Joe Manchin cannot run as a Republican, but the rest of that might hold. He can (apparently) beat a progressive challenger in the Dem primary and grab general election victory over Insane Nazi, but in the GOP primary he gon get buried by Insane Nazi.

Too bad it ain't happening anytime soon. pff, look at this limp-wristed democrat quote:In my six decades in public service, I’ve seen many changes in our nation and its institutions. Yet the most profound change I’ve witnessed is also the saddest. It is the complete collapse in respect for virtually every institution of government and an unprecedented cynicism about the nobility of public service itself.
