Schumer hits Manchin for failing to support Build Back Better, maintains Democrats will 'find a way forward'
Fox News ^ | 12/20/2022 | Brooke Singman

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Democratic colleagues Monday that this legislative session has led to moments of "deep discontent and frustration" as the Build Back Better Act hangs in limbo, blaming Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for not coming "to an agreement" with President Biden, while maintaining that the caucus will continue to "try to find a way forward" on the president’s economic agenda.

In a letter to Democratic colleagues Monday morning, Schumer, D-N.Y., reflected on the first session of the 117th Congress — which he pointed out "began with Republicans in the majority but quickly switched to Democratic control by the slimmest margins and has become the longest 50-50 Senate in history."

The definition of RINO is stupid.

regrettably, I’d take Schummer’s threat seriously

he needs to be watched like a hawk

“Don’t be surprised if some or one senate rino flips.”
I can think of 4 now: Romney, Murk, Cassidy and Collins.

Had the democrats real power, they would expel Mr. Manchin. Alas, they must pander to him. All the better for the country as a whole.

Bribe or blackmail. I think blackmail is far more prevalent than many Americans realize in our politics.

All they need is one Repuke. I’m not sure why they aren’t just trying to massage the Alaskan or the ever reliable Collins or Mitt.

That's why McConnell voted yes on infrastructure bill. To five RINOs and Manchin something and necessary cover so they can vote no on the BBB bill.

Brilliant, Here’s 2 Trillion but please promise not to ask for another 3 Trillion. Ok, you can take Minnesota but don’t go into Texas. Not going to last long with this type of leadership.

Schumky’s declaration translates to “the democrats will not stop pushing communism on Americans.”

No, you lost. There is no way forward.
Besides, if the Bill did the floor, there are probably 3 Democrats who would vote against it.

If it could have been done, it would have been done. The Democrats know that they need more then one vote to pass the Bill.

“forward” is a funny word.
It isn’t always a positive thing.
For instance if you are walking straight towards a cliff.
