Why do Schumer and senate Dems keep Joe Manchin chair of Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee?
I’m told the Democrats don’t dare take this step for fear Manchin would leave the Democratic Party and switch his allegiance to the Republicans. Why exactly would this be so terrible? Manchin already acts (and votes) like a Republican.
@RBReich Because they don’t want Manchin suddenly retiring or crossing the aisle, thereby handing the majority to McConnell? Come on, Robert, you were in government. Don’t be like those folks who first started following politics in 2015 and who don’t know anything.
@RBReich Manchin will be completely sidelined and irrelevant if we work to make sure every Dem running for Senate wins in Nov. We can do it. Stay focused, united and on message!
@RBReich Why don’t they try and get Joe Manchin removed from Congress; this isn’t the first time Manchin has thwarted Democratic goals
@RBReich Why does anyone give you even a pausing thought?
