[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he just completely nuts? Is that the deal? This would help out his state so much and he’s acting like his president is demanding three kinds of candy at the checkout lane. - an actual moderate Democrat

Manchin knows he has a losing hand, especially now that McConnell is capitulating on the debt limit, and is trying to save face.[/quote]

Are you delusional?

A - McConnell called Manchin and Sinema before he even announced that deal. They approved it

B - The debt ceiling and government shutdown have both been punted to December. Guess what else ends in December? The child tax credit.

The progressives are in a lose-lose situation. If they push it now for more than Manchin’s offer - the entire deal blows up. If they wait till Christmas - it’ll all blow up and expire anyway.

Plus small tip - the Senate gets reaaaalll cranky around Christmas. They do not want to be here in session for any reason. Let alone reconciliation. [/quote]
