Elections come and go.

In the past, however, the winners of a presidential cycle have typically not gone so far as to introduce legislation to overhaul the entire system in their favor. A stable system of government requires everyone to abide by a basic set of rules. This time around, Democrats are trying to change the rules to their advantage. But, thankfully, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has the courage to say no to his own party.
