Let’s simplify this as much as possible: Joe Manchin is campaigning with Susan Collins because he recognizes that a crackdown in her obvious corruption and involvement in bribery schemes means that if she loses she could land in court and then prison like Bob Menendez. If someone like Collins, who didn’t engage in corruption as sloppily as Menendez, is held accountable, people like Manchin are next. We’re close to judgment day in this country for all of the theft and corruption these people have engaged in, on both sides of the aisle, for decades.
