Perhaps but then again Joe Manchin represents a constituency that quite possibly does. Manchin earned his “coal baron” moniker and again, his constituents many of whom are multi-generational coal miners support him.
How Manchin chooses to spend his wealth IMHO is his business. Those who raise the issue demonstrate the old jealousy and envy traits.
Thought it only passed the house so far.
Manchin didn’t deliver anything yesterday. The house passed the “hard” infrastructure bill that the Senate passed months ago. Now Biden can sign that.

Ah, didn’t realize it already cleared the senate.
Yes and let’s see what “infrastructure” projects get started first. I’m betting the charging stations. That deal smells like Solyndra 2.0 to me and somebody is going to get pair a lit of money for what? Are these charging stations going to be energized by wind turbines, coal fired power plants or nuclear generating plants?
Just curious.

J’Biden taking a victory lap now on the tele.
OH LOOK 
!
There’s Kaaaamaaalaaaa!
There it is, he’s pimping the “build back better” bull ■■■■ socialist tax increase plan.
He keeps talking about all of these “millions of blue collar Union high paying jobs”?
There are ■■■■■■■ companies going out of business because they can’t get people to apply for a job!
WAIT! Could this be why this ■■■■■■■ let an illegal invasion horde into the country? These are the ones who will “do the jobs Americans won’t do”?
We’re so screwed.
I hope he holds out too. That would mean less damage to the country.
The Dems seem in an all fired rush to damage the country as fast as possible before they are swept out of power in the mid terms.
Disgusting.
Graham and McConnell sold us out too.
Bidens dinner party buddies.

Says Michael Bloomberg fan.
i don’t believe he will switch, and don’t know that we’d want him if he did. switching now puts him low on the seniority ladder for gop and does nothing for him, he likely would not get any good chairmanship. switching after mid term does nothing for him or the gop, we won’t need him. otherwise, i stand by my previous statements. its all kabuki theater for the folks back home. he is no moderate, he is a liberal and he will find a way to give biden what he wants after putting on a good show.

Switching also could dampen GOP turnout in midterms if they control the senate, much better just having him as a wrecking ball till 2022.
It passed the Senate weeks ago. Nancy has been sitting on it, trying to hold it hostage to entice some Senate Republicans to vote for the significantly larger “social infrastructure” bill.

They were never in my us group. So no surprise. Republican and conservative, not synonyms.
This really is awful. Trump tried to work actual infrastructure and no D would even try.
Now we have 32 R mocking Trump effort by hand ing Biden a political lifeline. Biden was down and out. Idiots.
Votes on legislation are supposed to be about what’s good for the Constituency, not what’s bad for your political opponents.

What, has nobody been charging electric cars already?
Trump never made any attempt at actual infrastructure legislation. He doesn’t know how.
Well…Trump also wanted to fund it via public/private partnerships; i.e. selling our infrastructure to corporate America. What could possibly have gone wrong?
Agree. If we got some wall funding. R got nothing. D got priceless PR 12 years in making.
