It's not 1994 anymore. There are not scads of Democrats who you would think were prime candidates to switch parties and bolt the national ticket as there were back then.
Personally, I think Manchin is the new Zell Miller. He'll switch parties and endorse Trump, probably at some point in early 2020. He's the only one really worth having, as far as being able to actually do something for Trump.
Webb might, but I doubt it. Lieberman might, but McCain was his pal, and I can't believe Lieberman appreciates Trump's trashing McCain. Cuellar has been a Bush-supporting Democrat, but could be a fresh Hispanic face for the Trump Team.
What do folks think here?
If you think that Manchin is the next Zell Miller, I'd suggest you need to be a bit of a deeper dive.
To begin with, if Manchin was going to do a 'Zell Miller' he would have done in 2017- and either taken a cabinet position, or run as a republican and not have to spend 18 months with the political kidney stone of running as a Democrat. Zell Miller didn't run in 2002, and shoot the Bush tax cuts bill.
Besides Manchin has said dozens of times that he's
been very pissed off at the Trump Administrations efforts to repeal Obamacare.
