What is going on with him? He's acting very differently.
Manchin saw the writing on the wall: Dems are poised to pick up seats in the Senate, making him irrelevant. He’s taking his wins now.
This.
If the Dems end up with one or two more seats then Manchin and Sinema can go kick rocks.
LOL you all are misreading this again - just like you thought Manchin would crack on that stupid trillion-dollar proposal.
He’s throwing desperate Dems in midterms a lifeline to run on while passing a bill HE co-authored, named and stuck in not only pipeline legislation for but also a Coal Miners pension provision that benefits only his state.
Manchin not only got his pork, he ate it too.
I’m all for Manchin’s pork if it gets us Climate legislation and lower drug cost. But you can’t tell me this win will make him irrelevant because Dems will not only now hold the Senate, we’ll pick up a seat or two.
Next year we’ll close the carried interest loophole since even 1 pickup makes Sinema irrelevant too.
I’m telling you exactly that. Say the Dems hold the Senate +1-2 (and that’s far from certain with Kelly on shaky grounds and your hope being Rubio or Rand Paul loses lol), the House is guaranteed to be in Republican hands. What exactly do you hope to pass with one chamber against the other?
It’s not Sinema and Manchin being irrelevant you should worry about, it’s the entire Senate.
Of course in blue hands we’ll still get our judicial nominees through so small blessings.
