Is it possible Biden runs some Democrats over to the R side of the aisle?

The R’s picked up Van Drew and the congressman from GA...Vernon Jones. If Biden continues to go full Dim Marxist retard is there a chance some other Democrats bail and go independent or Republican? Maybe Manchin? It would be crazy if the Dim loons lost their majority in the House and/or Senate because old school Democrats couldn’t hang with the Dim Marxist Destroy America agenda.

Not unless they want their lives ruined and families threatened

I don't think there are any democrats left in the house that would be considered moderates or centrists.

Highly unlikely.
Dems control both chambers and are fricking vindictive. It would take probably two swaps in the Senate (Manchin and ???) to keep a Murkowski or Collins from flipping it right back.
It would take closer to 10 House members.

There is no aisle. They are two sides of the same coin.

No, because the GOP is a mess. It would only happen if they thought they could help fix the GOP, which would start with getting rid of everything related to Trump.

It's possible if enough constituents complain to their reps and senators and give their blessing to go against the democrat agenda. Anyone who flips won't get any federal pork for their state, that's for sure. It will hurt financially until 2022.

This isn’t something anybody on the right should ever want. The solution should never be to water the party down by moving it left, which would be the result of taking on “ex” Dems who still think like Dems. We have enough of that problem with RINOs.

It is possible.
But the Democrats know power. With them holding the House and the Senate in the balance it would take some arm bending to get one Senator to switch to regain control of the Senate, but I wouldn't expect it.
There have been some in the past that have negotiated power shifts only because the power shifted to the opposing party.
Billy Tauzin was one of them. He was life long Democrat and had gained enough seniority that he was in line to be a committee chairman, but when the House and Senate shifted Republican in 1995 he lost his opportunity to become a committee chairman. He lost that when the Republicans took over, so, he negotiated and got the Republicans to agree to give him his seniority on the committee and he would become the next chairman if he switched. He eventually switched and gave us bad bill after bill. Such as the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Medicare Prescription Drug bill that is bankrupting Medicare.
He then took a lofty position as the head of the Pharmaceutical Lobby for a few years. Now I think he lives at his ranch in Texas.
