“Ha, ha... I didn’t say he doesn’t deserve credit for this. But guess what? He is going to turn around and vote for Voting Rights Bill to elect democrats in office forever. Codify Cheating.”

That is the next test for him. He will vote for it, if it gets to the floor, but, so far, he’s not willing to change the rules or try to ‘work around’ the rules to get it there - so the Dems will need to round up 10 Republicans and so far they have zero.

Save the Republic?

How are they more saviors than the 50 Republicans that will vote against the tyranny?

You have a good point, but Manchin and Sinema are holding against massive party pressure as well as the Media and Deep State.

The voting bill is the biggest thing. If they hold on that, all 51-52 senators who stop it deserve a lot of credit.

When did he say he was going to vote for “Voting Rights Bill”?

He looked the other way on the steal,

How would his vote have changed anything?

“Meantime down in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott—fed up with seeing his state overrun by illegals virtually escorted from Mexico across the Texas border”

Swung into action a year into the flood. And his National Guard is literally receiving them from cartel coyotes and letting them return with the boats to make another trip. The Tx National Guard is a welcoming and facilitating service for illegals... but they crack down hard on citizen journalists trying to film the arrivals.

Abbott is a freeze in the dark Bushie tool. He is barely adequate, but lets not make him a hero.

I agree. Yes Manchin is a democrat but this one NO, if he sticks to it, that has done this country a HUGE favor. Indeed billions that would have been wasted had this bill passed will not be.

Someone else said on this thread that Manchin is just waiting for the price/payoff to get high enough. I hope that’s not true but I do worry about it.

It is about time that he did something with that "Border Fence".

The Mexicans are in line too and they need to be sent back until we get a handle what Biden has done to this country.

His voting for the Voter’s Right Bill is in hundreds of articles.

His ancestors, all Democrats, were officials in WV.

Abbott not only hasn’t done anything yet, he’s a year late pointing out the obvious.

Right, About 2 million illegals late.
