At what point does ostracizing Manchin cause him to declare himself a Republican and give the Speakership back to McConnell? Do you know what the rules are? Can he simply defect at will, or does ha have to wait to be re-elected as a Republican? I think that's why Biden & Schumer are treating him (& Sinema) with kid gloves rather than a velvet fist.
