Remember when John McCain was hailed by the Democrats for being a "maverick" because he often voted against his own party? Well, now that Joe Manchin (and Kyrsten Sinema) are opposing the $3.5 trillion Reconciliation Bill, the Democrats are most definitely NOT calling him a maverick. Instead they are calling him a lot of other unfriendly names as Manchin Derangement Syndrome goes red hot.

Delicious....isn’t it
They certainly are vocal about their feelings. Wait ‘til after the midterms.
Color me skeptical. I can’t recall the last time “maverick” democrats killed such an important democrat initiative. Maybe Lieberman on defense or something. My money says we see a last minute Cornhusker Kickback type democrat compromise on how badly the nation gets screwed.
I saw some talking heads on CNN, lamenting how Manchin is not on board. And they were saying how his state would benefit so much from the proposed expansion of big government programs. they said he’s not representing his constituents with his position.
The midterms ala Dominion? We’ll see.
my personal pet peeve is people who say " Im a single mother with x small children". Heard that excuse by a women in court, she had 9 different stolen credit cards , she said she couldn't do any jail time.
I’m actually more worried about the proposals they’ve slipped in between the layers of pork. We need more time to look over the 2,000+ pages of this, to make sure we’re not sending half the country to concentration camps.
I don’t think so. Nasty and Bugout Biden would not be offering to lop $1.4 trillion off reconciliation if they thought they could being the hold outs in the US Senate on board
Aren’t you so glad the MSM is there to tell idiots in flyover country what’s good for them?
The MSM is seriously disconnected from reality and this kind of thing is why everyone outside the coastal enclaves hates them.
Yes I agree, the media have a distorted view of the country. Their lives are centered in the New York/Washington axis. They don’t get out much.
We shall see. I hope you’re right but history says you aren’t.
Yep you are probably correct. But then I have never seen a DC Dem buck the party this hard this long on their primary policy issue. You only see this sort of thing in the GOP, never in the Dems
There will have to be poll watchers who mean business and come equipped with cameras hooked to satellite Internet. Even then, it’s hard to document crooked machines, and the nerds who know how to spot it don’t know how to communicate with the public. We will see indeed. Can they cheat their way out of a landslide loss? I don’t think so. It has to be at least close.
He’s not up for reelection until 2024, and he knows his constituents better than those a@@holes ever will.
Who will demand such poll watchers? The cowardly Republicans? I think not
Cowards can be scared both ways. The Republicans in their respective jurisdictions can do the scaring.
There’s also the fact that the party in the WH loses seats in both houses of Congress, with few exceptions. I’m looking at 2022 and the party in the WH is exposed as a bunch of charlatans at this juncture. The Russia hoax is exposed. They tried to pass off the fiasco of Afghanistan as an extraordinary success, while America has been humiliated and discredited on the international stage because of it. They are claiming the border is secure while the invasion continues. Inflation is rising and Joe claims it’s only temporary (Prosperity is right around the corner, folks!), and they’re demonizing the only two Democrats in the Senate who are standing up to them. And they think that just keeping all this off CNN will prevent people from believing their lying eyes! They’re going to lose big.
They don’t even have Orange Man Bad to motivate the crooked party machine operatives any more, because Sniffy Snuff Incompetent and Corrupt speaks louder, and takes all the wind out of their sails.
I have a good feeling. But I had a good feeling in 2020, too, so don’t go by my feelings. It’s up to anyone who can do so to step forward now and get ready to do poll watching the way it should have been done in 2020.
Were you a liberal when you were younger?
You come across as a liberal pretending to be a conservative.
