Is Senator Joe Manchin going to switch parties?
Enquiring minds want to know
West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin keeps getting asked if he is going to switch parties. From an interview in the Washington Examiner:
Joe Manchin said not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask him if he wants to switch from Democrat to Republican.
Every day? "Every day," he answers.
Hey, Joe, maybe it's because you keep making headlines as a possible member of Trump's cabinet. From Roll Call on December 5:
Manchin Among Trump’s Expanded Secretary of State List
And from Politico on December 1:
Trump team considering Sen. Joe Manchin for energy secretary
Or maybe it's because you're acting like a Republican.
From Politico last month:
Manchin slams Reid on Trump comments: 'An absolute embarrassment'
Or perhaps its because far-right Republican sites love what you're doing:
From Breitbart News last month:
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin Announces Support for Jeff Sessions as Attorney General
And from today's Newsmax:

Hey, why would anyone think that Joe Manchin might be switching parties?
