You, the three of you and other Democrats lashing out against Manchin, should see what it is like to live with Mitch McConnell in the Senate Majority Leader saddle. Joe Scarborough gave this warning Monday to DemocratsMorning Joe:

They were probably angry and they must have felt betrayed. They’re probably frustrated trying to get him down.I was taken by those attacks, and attacks by other Democrats,  which seem to invite Joe Manchin to become a Republican.” 

 

 

Scarborough mentioned the example given by “Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords. Scarborough cited the example of “Jumpin” Jim Jeffords, a Vermont Senator who died in 2001. This gave them the Senate majority. “Democrats believe it cannot get worse. Oh! You can make it worse. Jim Jefferds resigned from the Republican party and won the Senate control for the Democrats in 2002. Because of his issues with George W. Bush.”

Scarborough, on the other hand, pointed out that Bill Clinton was someone who knew Washington and could get things done. “You can impeach!” [him]On Monday. You would be invited to go golfing with him on Tuesday. You’d also be working with him to draft a bill on Wednesday.

At the same, I also said yesterday that I was trying to nail him down. You could impeach Bill Clinton Monday. You would be invited to golf on Tuesday by Bill Clinton. He would also invite you to go golfing on Tuesday. Bill Clinton knew that every battle was a new one, and each bill is a chance to win the next. 

Again, I was taken by the reality of Washington D.C., and not Joe Manchin’s emotions.These attacks and other attacks on Democrat activists took my breath awayThe following is a list of s that we will be reviewing in the next section: which seem to invite Joe Manchin to become a Republican. 

Democrats believe it cannot get any worse. Oh! You can make it worse. Jim Jefferds resigned from the Republican party and won the Senate control for the Democrats in 2002. Because of his issues with George W. Bush.
