GOP steps up flirtation with Manchin
By Aris Folley and Jordain Carney - 12/23/21 06:01 AM EST

Republicans are flirting with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) as he faces backlash from his own party over his opposition to Build Back Better.

GOP senators, most of whom are friendly with Manchin, are making it clear they would welcome him into their caucus, where they think he would be a good fit given West Virginia’s deep-red political leanings.

Manchin has given no indication that he would flip, but Republicans know if they can successfully woo him, it would hand them a narrow Senate majority and be a significant stumbling block for President Biden’s agenda.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is leading a public blitz to make sure Manchin knows that he has a home in the Senate GOP caucus, if he wants one.

“He feels like a man alone. If he were to join us he would be joining a lot of folks who have similar views on a whole range of issues,” McConnell told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt this week.

If he switched, the good feelings would last maybe, maybe, one session, and then it would devolve into a RINO-fest.

Better to find other ways of incentivizing him to do the right thing.

Manchin won't and shouldn't switch parties. He is a DCP disciple. He knows he would just be a RINO.

That's why it would be good if he switched to Indy and Caucused with the GOP.  Then we don't care after the session.

Stay where you are, Joe, and keep doing what you're doing.

Please stop it, GOP. Joe is not a Republican and he's not a conservative. He's not your friend just because once or twice in his entire life he did the right thing. Please!
