As an Independent, he will gain power, at least until the 2022 election, at which time he will have to be a Republican to retain any power.

With the obvious exception of BBB he has been voting with them. Without him though, the tie is broken, Schumer is no longer Majority Leader, and Kamala no longer gets a vote. The ramifications are tremendous.

Why do you keep referring to “you guys”? Who specifically, are you referring to?

Yes, but most don’t have the balls to use it like Manchin has.

Not necessarily … he can declare as an Independent. But a 50-49-1 majority still loses Chucky his fancy office suite and Kamala goes back to being a nobody.

Not a chance that he will leave the party.
Over his one vote on one bill? That is just ■■■■■■■ laughable.

Keep making an example of him, stage protests at his home and having the President call him out by name and see where he draws the line.

Maybe you haven’t been hearing and reading the nasty things being said about him by the libs.

No I have. He is enjoying his new found media status. It will pass. He has been put on the block and now has to show what parts of the bill he rejects. But that is a long way away from him converting.

It’s not about how long his media attention will last, it’s about how long the libs will hold this against him.

And by freebies you mean rural investment. Stop investing and starve.
Which I don’t believe will be long. He is just against this bill as it is written. Jayapal is talking to him about his vote. And she has asked what specific things in the bill he is opposed to. Exactly right.

He’s against 3 Trillion dollars of this bill. So the Dems can figure out which 3 Trillion over 10 years has to go to get him in. He isn’t going to buy in to 1 year to 3 year ■■■■■■■■ games.

Jayapal and the rest of his D Senate peers are not the problem.

Miss the upcoming filibuster debacle? Pay attention.

He would be in if inflation hadn’t spooked him. My guess.
