perhaps the schumer/manchin exchanges over SCOTUS nominee are staged theater?

[msongs]

like shumer says I'll say this and manchin says I'll say that in response and we will make manchin look tough and independent to protect his seat in WV. likely not the first time such a thing has happened

1. They are all playing a game. It's called "Politics".

[Wwcd]

2. Wouldn't surprise me at all. These 2 have been in DC long enough to know

how the political game has to be played, when dealing with constituents in one's home state, while keeping the wolves away from the door to the legislative seat they hold.
A Dem majority is what saves this country in 2018.

They are both welcome to fight as they see fit to secure the Democratic seats.
They both know that we have just one shot at salvaging our Country.

3. Nope. Manchin will vote to confirm IMO.

[Me.]

4. Yep

don't ever count on him

5. I wish the play was helping educate WV voters.

Kavanaugh is not trustworthy, as most recently evidenced by his ridiculous acceptance speech. That (should) cut across party lines.
