    I think his plan is clear:

    • threaten the Democrats that he will bolt before the election if the party tries to primary him

    • if he doesn’t switch parties before the election, and gets reelected, he will switch to Independent if the Republicans win back the majority and try to get a plum committee assignment out of Mitch

      You’re forgetting the possibility that he slithers off of his yacht and dissolves back into the murky black depths from whence he came. Or maybe he trips and falls overboard. Either one. Does pure evil respond to the forces of gravity?

      The state party isn’t gonna support a primary against him. It’ll just be Paula Jean Swearengin running a doomed campaign like in 18 (the last time she primaried him) and 20 (when she ran against our other nepo baby senator)# .
