I'll just bet she can :laugh: Wouldn't want to be the first party to piss her off, would we, Chucky? What a kiss-ass :laugh:

It's not like she's not going to sign off on 95% of the Dem agenda anyway.

That may change if her former party continues the rush of character assassination they currently have mounted against her.

IMO, the Dems can't afford trying to intimidate her with the risk of alienating her instead hanging over it.

I don't think they care, that is what I am saying. The modern left is an "all-in or you are an enemy" party just like the Trumpian wing of the GOP, only I would say they are worse because they are more throat. A person can only take so much abuse.

A person can only take so much abuse.They still need Manchin's and Sinema's votes. That one vote majority they now have isn't any good without both.

I do think they care about that. We'll just have to see. That's the price of fielding losers/not prioritizing. We get to watch helplessly from the sideline.
