[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As usual the House is doing what the House does - fing up

That wasn’t the House fing up, that was strategic.  They met Manchin’s demands and then rather than moving forward in good faith, Manchin made new demands.  This was the House showing Manchin that he doesn’t rule their chamber.

Okay but they can pass that piece of bloated crap and it'll come to the Senate and he'll vote it down. Sounds like they shot themselves in the foot for dramatics. [/quote]

Manchin is doing everything in his power to tank this thing.  By putting popular proposals like paid leave back in, they neutralize themselves from attacks back home that they abandoned this as a policy priority.  And then when it goes to the Senate with paid leave in place, Manchin will take the heat for rejecting a popular proposal.  Manchin wants this to be a compromise so he doesn’t have to accept responsibility for unpopular choices.  House Democrats aren’t letting him hide behind them anymore.[/quote]
