Joe Manchin

[BamaPokerplayer]

Is he going to be a problem or just grandstanding?

 

[92tide]

my guess is this is all perfomative

 

[jthomas666]

Oh, he's definitely gonna be a problem. While they can probably placate him for spending bills, he won't budge on abolishing the filibuster, and without that HR1, the election reform package, is almost certainly dead in the water.

Not only that, but the infrastructure bill may be dead or gutted. He's the answer to the right's prayers and I detest him and his camera-love...

Same - if he dropped dead tomorrow the country would be better for it.

The country would be better off with Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader?

plus I doubt seriously that whatever West Virginia put up to replace him would be an improvement

You don't think a democrat would get that seat?

 

[Crimson1967]

The governor is a Republican.

So is Manchin, IMO.

he is an old school dixiecrat who never bothered to change his party affiliation

Nope, its WVA. They will just get a person who is more difficult to deal with for Biden and bye bye for the 50 50 split.

And a real publicity hound...you thought Trump liked to see his name in the papers....

And the sad thing is, the infrastructure bill would be a massive windfall for West Virginia.

Every republican should be all in for this, as it would help red states far more than blue states.

They seem to be more opposed to paying for it rather than doing it.

 

[TexasBama]

Perhaps this should have been a clue

 

[B1GTide]

No, they are opposed to doing anything that the democrats support. Wise up.

 

[Jon]

No, they are opposed to doing anything that the democrats support. Wise up.

they want to continue Trumps destruction 2024 so they can't support anything that works, period.

 

[Bamaro]

That doesn't negate my statement so I'm not sure why the 'wise up' snark.
