Isn’t Jake Sherman the guy who was outed as being extremely friendly with Mark Meadows? And hasn’t Manchin been shown to be a damn liar already? Why do you trust the message or the messengers?[/quote]

What's not to trust? Manchin has been clear since summer he didn't like this bill and has made as much known throughout the fall and winter. Then blew it up on XMas Eve like he was hinting at all along.

Or do you think there's a secret unicorn bill signed and going to a vote at 8PM tonight despite his objections?  :roll: [/quote]

They gave Manchin concession after concession.   But in the end, it turned out Manchin was just playing games and wasting everyone's time.[/quote]

That is adorable!

The Democrats can't proceed without Manchin's vote.

If he doesn't like the bill they have to change it until he likes it.  They don't get to decide when they have given him enough concessions, he decides.

They should have known he had an effective veto and approached him appropriately, asking him very nicely what he would be willing to support.

Instead they decided to try to steamroll him...

They DID ask him.  They DID make many changes.  They DID give him many concessions.  But Manchin still went ahead, grossly abused his position and is a complete a-hole.  [/quote]

:lol:

Again, slowly, Manchin gets what he wants, all of it.

You keep saying they gave him "many concessions," but that doesn't matter one bit.  Manchin gets to decide when he likes the bill and if he doesn't like it then it is dead.

Manchin took $1.5 million from Republican donors in the lead-up to this.  It's clear that the only thing he's decided on is nest-padding grift.[/quote]

You say that like its going to his bank account - its direct to his re-election campaign coffers so who cares?[/quote]

Don't you understand, it was from -Republican- donors, that is how you know they are bad.  This is bad money.

Except they gave it to a Democrat, which means they are by definition Democratic donors, which is apparently fine and virtuous.

[/quote]

Let's make this as clear as possible:
Republicans gave two corrupt Democrats money in order to get them to sabotage a Democrat bill.  Manchin got $1.5m, Sinema got $1m.  End of story.  [/quote]

That's pretty cheap compared to how much money Democrats poured into races for Beto O'Rourke, Cal Cunningham, Sara Gideon, Amy McGrath, and Jaime Harrison. I recall each candidate had a $50 million warchest from funds pouring in and they all still lost. [/quote]
