Kick Joe Manchin out of the Democratic Party, ex-Labor Secretary Robert Reich says: 'Already lost control'
Reich says Democrats can’t get anything done anyway

By Brian Flood | Fox News

Former Democratic Labor Secretary Robert Reich believes it may be time for Democrats to kick  Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., out of the party because they "already lost control over the Senate" and can’t get anything done despite appearing to have power.

Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor under President Clinton and was a member of President Obama’s economic transition advisory board, wrote on Substack that kicking Manchin out of the party would at least allow Democrats to admit they didn’t truly have control when Americans head off to vote in the looming midterm elections.

Manchin's office had reportedly told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D, N.Y., Thursday that he is only willing to support a reconciliation bill in August that includes a provision to lower prescription drug prices and a two-year extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, according to a Democrat briefed on the conversations. However, Manchin pushed back later Friday on reports that he had ruled out including tax hikes and climate change subsidies within the Democrats' party-line spending bill, saying he would wait until July inflation numbers are out next month to decide.

Yeah that will get Manchin's support. Go ahead kick him out of the DCP.

Excellent idea: then Manchin can caucus with the GOP, even if he doesn't join, making Mitch McConnell majority leader and giving the Presidency Pro Tempore of the Senate (4th in line for the Presidency) to the Republicans.  And we can have Senate committees launch investigations of all manner of conduct by the Biden administration and, if they have the guts, of whether there were any Federal agents among the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers acting as agents provocateurs on January 6, 2022.
