Democrats reach turning point with Manchin
The Hill ^ | 06/07/21 06:50 PM EDT | HANNA TRUDO

Posted on 06/07/2021 5:44:14 PM PDT by outofsalt

"Manchin and another centrist, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), have created irksome obstacles within their own caucus, and Democrats have yet to land on a strategy for dealing with the internal dissent." "A vocal portion of the party believes that challenging Manchin and Sinema from the left is the best way forward."

If McConnell had half a set, he’d be playing “let’s make a deal” with Manchin right now.

Whoa??? Are you suggesting that Mitch go against his buddy Chuckie? That would be bold!

He’s going to have to start voting with the GOP if he wants to switch parties.

I agree. But I’d love to have majority to stop judges, voting rights bill and infrastructure bill. I know it’s not perfect having a RINO, but for now, it better.

So then Sen. Schumer is going to run people like Bernie Sanders against all Democrats if Dems believe that being left is the best way forward?

And since when is Schumer and others like him being pro banker bailouts, pro federal reserve, pro wars of adventures a far left thing?

If another Dem Senator comes out against the Biden agenda it is all over for Biden. I can’t help but believe a few dems must feel pressure to slow the socialists/progressves down.

Hey, a question: Are you in favor of an assault weapons ban?

Justice was a Republican who switched to Rat who switched back to Republican.

Easy now, we’re for the same outcome. Let’s stop the liberal agenda then fight for real change.
“The Mountain State was never anticipated to be competitive in the presidential race after Trump won by his biggest margin there over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, besting her by more than 40 percentage points.”

Manchin and Sinema will be lauded as heroes by the left after the Republicans take Congress in ‘22…

Won’t do any good for dems. The governor of WV is a Republican.

I bet there are a least a handful of other Dem Senators calling both Manchin and Sinema at night thanking them all the while condemning them to the cameras each day.

All Demos are corrupt. These two are just holding out for pork.

… after you boycotted the GA runoff…

I only boycotted the GA runoff because I’m not from GA. I guess we all should try to register in as many states as we can since IDs are not required.

“Jim Justice got 63% in his Republican primary after his party switch.”

Richard Shelby did the same in Alabama (also a bright red state). Went up against Bill Clinton on a ‘stimulus’ bill, then Clinton tried to punish him by moving a handful of jobs from Alabama to Texas...then Shelby flipped parties and won every election since.

So I agree with you, Manchin already had significant Republican support, just to hold his seat in WV, and if he does switch, he will be GREATLY REWARDED by his voters for stopping Biden...he’ll be all set.
