If Manchin AND Sinema were the FIRST two to vote yes, would that draw a couple of RETHUGLICONS vote? They would KNOW it will pass for sure. Just thinking out loud here.

its never bad to be optimistic.
Sadly, the realistic view is that the GOP is a lost cause and Senator Im really a RepublicanManchin and Senator Look at me Cinema have not only singlehandedly destroyed what could have been the most important advances to help this nation since the New Deal making it a skeleton of what it could and should be, but they may even still vote No.
Its a very depressing and disgusting state of affairs our country finds itself and I dont know how this is going to end but I am not as optimistic as you.
