Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Yeah he's already had to shoot down speculation about him becoming a Republican. If he became a Republican he would be disposable. But as long as he's a Democrat he can play kingmaker.

To be fair weren't he still be a kingmaker as a Republican because he would be the reason Republicans would have a senate majority before the midterms?

I was thinking of that in the sense that, if Manchin were a Republican, there'd be plenty of other more conservative Republicans to replace him. Democrats can't run someone more progressive than Manchin since they'll lose, so as long as Manchin's approval remains high with his constituents his job is secure. His job would not be secure if he jumped parties, which is why he has consistently said no to that idea.

What's her district? Also that's pretty bad when a "moderate" is saying they aren't going for re-election usually

District 7, it is basically the suburban area around Daytona Beach and Orlando with pieces of it extending into a lot of different counties. It is currently listed as a D+3, which could be good for Republicans if the generic ballot is anything to go by. The district is mostly white and hispanic, around 10% black. The district was also a Republican seat for 2 decades before Murphy won it. Not saying it is a slam dunk but might be one to watch out for.

You had the FBI setting up shop and living inside Trump's asshole for almost three straight years due to a transparently fake "dossier" of retarded stories that sounded like they came from 4chan.

I believe the dossier actually did come from 4chan, as a deliberate "they can't be this fucking dumb as to believe this, right?" trolling attempt. You know, same place the "OK sign is white supremacist" meme came from.

Unlike you, people have posted plenty of sources as a basis for that belief.

Nobody believes this shit at all, if you look at the endless shitting upon McConnell. Hell, I'm one of his biggest proponents in A&N and the furthest I'll go is "He likes to fuck over the Dems whenever he can derive personal advantage." Which is still better by far than the RINOs who will suck Dem cock for personal advantage.
Die Dunkle Maus said:
Trump is a perfect example of this hypocrisy, having been a Democrat for the majority of his life. 2008 rolls around and "poof" he's now a Republican who hugs the flag! Just a few years before, he was one of those gross Democrats hanging out with disgusting scum like Epstein, and it's all forgiven, like it never happened, and they see him as the Great White Hope. So... fucking... dumb.
Click to expand...
Oh my, its almost like positions and ideas change over time to the point where a 90's Democrat is now a hardcore Republican. Hell, just look at JFK and his actions and tell me he'd be a modern-day Democrat, with his opposition to the USSR and his distaste of the CIA, as well as his panning of the Civil Rights Act to keep the Dixiecrats onboard.

Also, its hilarious none of you have realized what @Exigent Circumcisions posted was some weird-ass copypasta, not an actual honest belief.

As to actual current stuff... you fuckers beat me to the punch so hard I look like a NFL player's girlfriend.

All of this is contingent on the incumbent being opposed. The interesting thing will be the results of challenges in previously assumed "safe" seats because the demographics were 30-40% hispanic, the rest being half to 3/4ths white, and the remainder left over being Native/Asian/Etc.

Interesting I'll keep that one in mind. It would be interesting to see Republicans reclaim a old safe red district.

Coal miners' union urges Manchin to reconsider opposition to Biden plan

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), which represents West Virginia coal miners, urged Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday to revisit his opposition to President Biden's Build Back Better plan.
thehill.com thehill.com

Lol apparently the UMWAfags are trying to pester Manchin to change his mind now. Idk how much money he has tied up in them but I doubt it will make much difference, the UMWA isn't well thought of in WV anymore, mostly because of Dems politicizing and neutering it. These days most of the UMWA support comes from the panhandles, the southern coalfield miners don't really give a shit about the unions anymore, in their view unions don't matter much when the mines could get shut down at any moment and they'd lose their jobs.

Yeah we'll need the pity, Hochul is sending out state Gestapo to the counties refusing to enforce to do the job for them now. Direct contradiction from last week when she signalled that she would totally never do such a thing. I'll have to keep a closer eye on how this plays out politically.

I mean, I was planning on leaving New York State in a couple of years once I get some money saved up, but now I might have to flee the state even faster than intended.
