I wouldn’t put it past Manchin to vote against him, but I think Romney might vote for him

Maybe the shredders are done now and it's ok to rebuild the DoJ.

West Virginia loves Federal Funds,and they need Manchin to bring home the Bacon. My guess is,Manchin has worn thin his bullshit and the Dem Leadership is about to drop the Hammer on him.

He will try to stake out his territory and push the envelope until Schummer,Sanders,and Durbin slap him silly.

scent around. There are Dems who will do a sit down with Mancin in the coming days. As Sherrod Brown mentioned a couple weeks back,we came so far,now is not the time to go back. We will pass Covid as well as economic relief one way or another.

Difference this time,Bernie Sanders has declared he will make it happen.

expected to behave, i,e, if they don’t vote in lock step then they are censored back home.

I want Manchin to always vote the way I want him to also, but he is from a blood red state and it’s a miracle he exists at all. I’m thankful every day that he never switched to the Repub party or we wouldn’t have the Senate at all.

I believe in persuasion, trying to bring him on board, but he has a right to vote how he needs to for his own personal conscience and with his constituents in mind.
