Anybody believing that Manchin was standing firm out of principle simply does not know his history. He talks a good game but he always folds in the end and here he now has a million reasons to fold. I suspect Sinema will fold next as soon as the dems know the price of her vote, likely negotiations are ongoing as we speak.
Been tryin’ to tell ‘em . . . and a few got mad at me. They (heh heh) think that Joe has principles. Some of them are so nuts they are hoping that he will switch parties.
