Sen. Joe Manchin is taking heat from all sides as he resists eliminating the last stalwart against the Democratic agenda, the filibuster, including some of the biggest names in America.
Manchin has told colleagues his phone has been lighting up with calls in recent days, including from former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Though two former presidents and every Democrat in the Senate couldn't budge the West Virginia senator, even TV host Oprah Winfrey phoned in to try to convince him to agree to filibuster reform, according to Politico.
Moderate Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., Tim Kaine, D-Va., and Angus King, I-Maine, were once leery of doing away with the 60-vote hurdle for fears of what Republicans would do if they took back the majority, but now are leading the campaign to sway the West Virginia Democrat.

Is that “collusion” ?
...............................
Maybe bribery.
Oprah: As the wealthiest business woman in the country, here is a substantial amount of cash going to a numbered account in Antigua. And a Lamborghini. Any color.
Barack: Name the law and I’ll get my people to let you break it with no questions asked. Insider trading? Settle an old score with an enemy?
Bill: Any chick, any age, any ethnicity. Go through my binders and make your choices. All discreet.
Manchin: Is this heaven or what? I can’t decide.
Oh, so Oprattle is now president.
All of them are for voter fraud.
They’re truly desperate to pass the Cheat Forever act. They know they’re toast without it.

Or its a mental diversion so we won’t notice dominion and ilk are still going to count the votes.
They win either way.
Sadly, I fear you are correct.
It would be a highlight if he hung up on those two TREASONOUS SOBs!
How sick our society is, if a TV celebrity is viewed as any kind of authority on anything. Sick!
Hopefully he is not taking these idiots calls.
If tester, kaine and the other doofazoids are trying to urge Manchin on, then they’re not “moderate” democrats.
I still think it is funny as Hell to see Oprah in commercials for Weight Watchers.
All any of us have ever done is WATCH Oprah’s weight go high & higher.
One can dream
