2. Joe Biden knows what he's doing, and he knows how to operate...

in the Senate. He's working on Manchin. Yesterday I posted what's below.

Joe's got to smooze Manchin with shovel-ready, infrastructure projects...

with good jobs that put out-of-work coal miners first in line for hiring. He should put Sec'y Pete in charge to come up with not just roads, bridges and tunnels, but green energy projects which can be models for energy projects all over the country.

Make W. Va the infrastructure lab for the nation as the Tennessee Valley Project did for that state and region in FDR's New Deal. I imagine Manchin, who obviously loves to be the center of attention, will love that he and his state will be the center of the nation's attention.

It can work and Sec'y Pete has the persuasive way with words to do it.
