Republican senator texted Joe Manchin about joining GOP
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Tuesday said he reached out to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to encourage him to join the Republican Party amid backlash over his opposition to the House-passed Build Back Better legislation.

Cornyn told KXAN — an Austin-based TV station that is part of Nexstar Media Group, which also owns The Hill — that he texted Manchin, "Joe if they don’t want you we do," but hadn't heard back.

“I don’t know what he will decide to do. But I do know West Virginia has gotten increasingly red. ... So, yeah, we’d love to have him. That would change the majority," Cornyn added.

Manchin said earlier this year that he did not intend to leave the Democratic Party but added that he had told his colleagues that if it was "embarrassing" for them that he was Democrat, he would switch his party affiliation to Independent.

But under that scenario, according to Manchin, he would still formally caucus with Democrats, similar to Independent Sens. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Angus King (Maine). That would mean Democrats would maintain their narrow majority.

Asked on Monday if there was a place for him in the Democratic Party, Manchin told WV MetroNews's Hoppy Kercheval, "I would like to hope that there are still Democrats that feel like I do. I say I'm fiscally responsible and socially compassionate. Now if there are no Democrats like that, they'll have to push me wherever they want to."

"I enjoy our conversations. It would not surprise you to know that I've suggested for years that it would be a great idea representing a deep-red state like West Virginia for him to come over to our side. I don't think that's going to happen," McConnell told reporters last week.

They need to kick Manchin out. Yeah, it's a precarious situation wanting to keep that seat and not give up the slim majority...but if this dude keeps kneecapping their agenda they are going to face far greater losses down the road when people get frustrated they can't deliver on stuff.

Go after Texas or Florida harder and toss WV. Vastly more valuable and would be a better fit for the more central and conservative portions of the dems than WV.

Yes, there are no people under Joe getting things done.

The economy is the result of the pandemic. Every other country is going through the same problems.

Are you too ignorant that you can not look outside the US to see what is happening.

Or better yet, you do not want to see, blinders makes for an easier pill to swallow.
