I don't trust Manchin as far as I can throw him. It's a good day when he comes through for Dems, but rest assured it only happens when it suits him to do so.

Sadly, I live in West Virginia, so I know first-hand how corrupt he is.

that goes their way

he decided he didn't want to be a republican anymore. west Va is a talk radio state and he's enabled by that rotten limbaugh buzz

the major heat wave could be worse next year, not just in 3 or 4 years

st louis floods, the same

he needs to lose to a challenger and as the senate looks more and more dem he realizes he could become irrelevant.

We're talking West Virginia, which is a deep red state. The only reason Manchin wins at all is that "Democrat" in this state means "Moderate Republican". A true Democrat who wasn't in the pocket of oil/gas/coal isn't going to win here.

13. Double cross??

"noun. Definition of double cross (Entry 2 of 2) 1a : an act of winning or trying to win a fight or match after agreeing to lose it. b : an act of betraying or cheating an associate."

Manchin is a Democrat. The legislation comes from Democrats. I'd like to know more about this partisan double cross and what Manchin promised McConnell. Turtleman has a sad on.

And, Cotton specifically mentions Senema as a hopeful block. Shows they know who supports their party. So, they feel double crossed when a Dem supports his own party. Just can't trust anybody.

Manchin cares about Manchin. Not me. Not you. Not the Democrats. Not Republicans. Only Manchin. He will play everything to walk away with more in his own pocket. I doubt anyone in DC is stupid enough to trust him.

If he says he'll agree with a bill, all bets are off. But if he puts his name on a bill he negotiated the terms to, that's different.
He put his name on the bill with Schumer. So I think it's an 80% chance he will vote on it.

Whenever deals are talked about by other people, he puts the brakes on. This one he's talking about. It's a big difference. My concerns are Leahy not being back in the Senate to vote, and Sinema throwing up the brakes.

Actually, I'm a little less concerned about Sinema, because with all the backslapping and high-fiving the Dems are doing, I think she'd be tamping down excitement by now.

Tom Cotton actually thinks that he could be our next President. Could you imagine looking at that sour mug and listening to that whiney twang for four years? Torture.

He's still a Democrat, so his shock that Manchin would work with Democrats to pass some things is almost laughable. Of course, I can't entirely blame Cotton (and probably McConnell) for feeling double-crossed by Manchin given how helpful he has been for them against the other Senate Democrats.
