Manchin is not a conservative. Manchin is a Democrat. Two facts, that at foundation, have not changed.

This was the White House spreading the false rumors

Unless Manchin is ready to retire when his term is up, he’ll hold firm

He will lose his next election if he gives in to far left threats, intimidation and terrorism.

All that matters to voters in WV is bringing home the pork, that's why they kept sending Sheets back to DC.

There’s a Cornhusker Kickback in there somewhere, Shoot, this only going to add $360B to the debt? Chump change, what’s the concern. If the charge card to pay for this gets rejected just use another one.

I think it is something else, namely that bank reporting low flows of money in and out.

Maybe he has had a “come to Jesus meeting” and asked the Lord what is in the best interest of our nation.
