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?

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. 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.
