I have a question concerning a new Senate

do you think that

1. Harry Reid will become minority leader or will he get dumped.

2. Will the independent from Maine Mr. King caucus with the GOP
now that they have the majority? I think the WAPO suggested this
would happen.

3. Will Senator Manchin switch parties ? Politico had something about this
I am not from WV so I do not know where he stands.

I do not think Reid is gonna get removed as Senate minority leader.
I could be wrong. but he has been in tough fights before and won.

I still think he wants to run for governor again in 2016 and there's no way he could win the republican primary here.

So what's the difference?

I am almost ashamed to admit that I have lived and voted in West Virginia for 30 years.

Manchin was the lesser of the evils when he got selected then elected to succeed Byrd. Rockefeller was the last bastion of decency.

Now we'll have Shelley Moore Capito to misrepresent us in the Senate along with Manchin.

I apologize for all the misinformed voters in West Virginia.
