Time for Republicans to make a deal with JOE.

TIME FOR JOE TO COME HOME TO WHERE HE BELONGS

HE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET ANYTHING HE WANTS 

With the Senate possibly deadlocked at 50-50, there is another solution to make the Georgia race not as important. I am not talking about Joe B from Delaware, but Joe M from West Virginia. Joe Manchin is the only blue dog democrat left in the senate. He served as Secretary of State and Governor of West Virginia.  He has voted with President Trump 52% of the time, the most of any democrat senator. 

With the new administration on the horizon, he has publicly voiced his opposition to expanding the court, the Green new Deal and many other progressive ideas. He has served in West Virginia as it morphed from a Democrat state to a strong Republican state. He has been very popular in his state, but has been walking a tight wire that may be getting very slippery in the future. He,without a doubt, would have a stronger position for re-election as a Republican. Much will depend on the focus of the Biden administration when or if he gets inaugurated.

Manchin will be under enormous pressure from the democrats to vote for their agenda, if he succumbs, his popularity in West Virginia could plummet and he could face a strong republican opponent. It would be one of those premier races in the future. If he is a block to the Democrat agenda he will be in danger from all kinds of reprisals from his own party.

He could become even more popular in West Virginia if he would decide to become a Republican. He would be just following the trend of his state. At this time he could also ask and receive almost anything he wants from the Republican senate. Probably most any chairmen spot and lots of focus on good things for West Virginia. It actually may be his best choice for the future of himself and his state. He would be welcomed as a brother coming home.

Of course the Democrats would also be able to offer him lots of perks, but it would be grudgingly and he would still be a bit of an outsider to most of the Democrats who likely view Manchin and West Virginians as backwoods hicks. He could likely demand and get lots of perks for his state, but he does come across as kind of principled type of guy and is that the type of Senator he wants to become.
