Here is a scary thought I heard today.

I overheard a couple people talking politics and They are praying Democrats gain 3 seats in the Senate. The person is convivence that Manchin and Sinema will switch to the Republican party and if we don't have 3 seats, we love the majority. If we have 3 seats, it cancels their. votes and give us 1 extra.

I would also think they have lucrative financial connections that would be disrupted by such a change. No one is going to be too quick to take a financial loss.

After all, they both "betrayed" TFG by voting to convict. Plus, Manchin voted against confirming Justice Handmaid ("he's a baby-killer!!!" ), and do you really think Arizona Republicans are going to vote to nominate an atheist bisexual woman?
