I will be surprised if Manchen holds his ground.

There were plenty of Freepers who kept posting Manchin was going to be bought or intimidated one way or another.
They know themselves. Just because one is corrupt doesn't mean everyone is corrupt too.

I don’t think it was just Manchin, but he was the sacrificial lamb. If there was lest than a 2-3 vote margin they probably could have just paid Mitt or offered him a cabinet position.

I hope Manchin kept records of what he was offered, and by who.

Preferably with video.

Schweizer...said Manchin must have rejected bids to procure his support for Build Back Better, including offers to financially benefit him and his family.

So Schweitzer has no information, just speculation because "that's the way things work".

And this warrants a story?

Is he being groomed to be the Democrat 2024 candidate?

Which is precisely why so many demos are upset with him.

This story is played out in so many movies about corruption. Think Serpico.

Everybody is in receipt of a corrupt bribe. But, one member of the team rejects it on principle.

HE MUST DIE!!!!!!!

This is the fundamental rule of woke, @meetoo, etc. Kill the infidels. Those who think or worse, ACT, independently. Kill, kill, kill.

I will save my applause for Manchin until I am sure he remains a bulwark against this Biden mess. Perhaps during the holiday recess one or two more Democrats will hear from their constituents and choose not to go down on Biden’s Titanic. I am certain members of Congress are already hearing from their constituents about soaring prices, especially for gasoline and home heating. Biden’s prediction of a bleak winter may come true, not due to COVID but due people freezing in their homes because they cannot afford their heating bill or due to shortages of home heating oil and natural gas.

Good for Manchin for some backbone, especially since he inherited Robert Byrd’s political legacy:
