Manchin still has aspirations for higher office.. He knows his career is over if he crosses the voters of WV...
To: ScottfromNJ
Manchin and Sinema are taking the heat for other Dem (10?) Senators who see how crazy this radical agenda has gotten and want nothing to do with it.

Read a very important post, here, yesterday.
When the Bolsheviks came for a farm families belongings/equipment, etc., they loudly claimed....
It's For the People!
History seems to be repeating itself, and, since our schools no longer teach REAL history, the sheeple don't even have a clue to what is happening. The left doesn't even hide their nefarious deeds, any longer.

Manchin and Sinema should dump the Rat party and switch. Then they get primaried out of office by a conservative candidate. Both have won as Democrats, Manchin several times. They have a better chance of holding on to office remaining Democrats.

Manchin represents a state that Biden lost by almost 40 points, so itās not like his phone is ringing off the hook with calls from constituents who are clamoring for him to support the DNC agenda.

Manchin should switch over to the GOP and be done with it.
WVA is one of the most republican states, is it not?

Except he's been consistent about being strongly FOR the filibuster from the get go, and hasn't given even an inch on that, despite Dementia Joe giving Manchinās wife a federal appointment.
You know Manchinās mind more than Manchin himself does do you?

Iām pretty sure Democrats still outnumber Republicans among registered voters in West Virginia. There may be lots of Trump supporters there, but that doesnāt mean they support the RNC agenda.

If Manchin is winning deep red WVA as a Dem, he will blow it out of the water as a Republican.
There really isn't anything the Dems can do against him.
To: Alberta's Child
Manchin represents a state that Biden lost by almost 40 points, so itās not like his phone is ringing off the hook with calls from constituents who are clamoring for him to support the DNC agenda. Republican presidential candidates have taken West Virginia by double digits since 2000. And over all that time Manchin has been winning elections as a Democrat. He plans on running again in 2024 and has no desire to be primaried out of office.
To: Pilgrim's Progress
You wish.
The filibuster remains. Get used to it.
To: SmokingJoe
It appears you misread my comments . . . I am stating Joe Manchin’s proven history (refer to 0bamacare vote).

To: SmokingJoe
West Virginia has more white people on welfare than any place on the planet outside Great Britain. These people vote for Republicans only by default.

Manchin and Sinema will be begrudgingly lauded as heroes for keeping the filibuster after Republicans take Congress in ā22ā¦
To: 11th_VA
What about Romney?
Don't worry, Mitt will be there to reliably vote with the Democrats ... that's what backstabbers do
