“Manchin is waiting for a bigger check.”
Exactly what I thought.
😎👍🏻
Either that or he's about to be Arkancided.
Can someone point to an actual vote that passage was on the line for the Dems that Manchin went against? He’s all talk.
His wife recently got a six figure income job at the Appalachian Regional Commission. Many thought that was an inducement for Joe Manchin to toe the Democrat party line.
Manchin is a Democrat. He always has and always will vote “Democrat”.
When will Republicans learn this?
What Manchin SAYS is 99.999999% of time pure Kabuki. Probably holds the record for votes contrary to his prior statements.
My big worry is that this guy is pretty much all that is standing between us and 4 trillion dollars of crazy spending. He’s not a reliable roadblock.
Exactly....and it will be a big one.
