Turncoats or Sellouts?

Submitted by ub on

Are these two DINO sellouts, turncoats, or brave warriors who will protect the right to vote? It depends on your side of the aisle.

With election experts reportedly predicting control of the House could easily flip to the GOP in November, the tenuous nature of the Senate where the chamber is split 50-50 could hold with several Republican-held seats -- particularly in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin facing a flip of their own.

Beyond the intransigence of Sens Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) who have held up President Joe Biden's agenda, is the threat that a Democrat Senator in certain states with GOP governors could step down or even pass away leaving their seat open.

Also, random act of fate could turn the Senate over to the Republicans, not next January, but soon. An illness or death could well trigger a political earthquake.  https://politics.doseofnews.com/

One thing is certain. if these US Senators change party affiliation, The GOP would then hold the upper hand and may become RINO Republican In Name Only.

DINO is a Democrat In Name Only. One who takes the side of Republicans.

A turncoat is a person who shifts allegiance from one loyalty or ideal to another, betraying or deserting an original cause by switching to the opposing side or party.

A sellout is a common expression for the compromising of a person's integrity, morality, authenticity, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money.
