Why does Manchin get so much more attention than Sinema? nt

1. I think that the perception is that if you get Manchin on board, Sinema

would fall in line.

[MineralMan]

2. Probably because he gets more news coverage.

He's been around longer, as well.

3. Nobody takes Sinema seriously? She is so flagrantly

in need of attention.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. She's actually pretty interview shy

Which is surprising how she gets weirdly performative.

16. A person who isn't really that smart might act that way...

4. He writes editorials and gives more interviews. There may

Be others who sympathize with what he says but they keep quiet.

6. Have the Greens disowned Sinema yet?

Or is she doing what they wish for?

[AZProgressive]

8. The Green Party candidate dropped out at the last minute in the 2018 Senate Race

My guess is she didn’t want to be a spoiler so she dropped out. Sinema is a lot more conservative than her days in the AZ State Legislature.

Third party advocates actually seem to be more angry with AOC than Sinema so I don’t interact with third party voters much anymore.

7. I suspect Manchin's W.Va. Republican constituents demand obstruction of Biden's agenda, so he

seeks out media coverage of his antics to improve his re-election chances. Sinema represents a blue-trending state; she needs to keep her head down to avoid being seen as a constant thorn in the administration's side.

10. Interesting. nt

15. That's how Manchin a Democrat gets re-elected in WV owning the libs he has

a hundred times more power as a Democrat than a Republican. If he was a Republican nobody would know who he was.

9. Guess.

11. Seniority

[relayerbob]

12. He has an extra appendage

[rickyhall]

13. It's all relative to the size of the asshole, I think.

[awesomerwb1]

14. He dresses better than her??

[W_HAMILTON]

17. He's out in front of the cameras a lot more often.

18. Why do the both of them get more attention than the 50 Republicans who say "NO!" to everything?

If even one Republican would stand up for what many of them were asking for just last year than this would be in the bag.

Maybe it is time to offer sweeteners to a couple of Republicans?
