Joe Manchin Folds Like a Wash and Wear Suit
By Bonchie | Jun 22, 2021 4:15 PM ET
Last week, a phone call between Joe Manchin and billionaire activists from a supposedly centrist group called “No Labels” leaked. What was revealed was a senator with a spine made of overcooked spaghetti who was desperately trying to find a way to straddle the fence on the For the People Act, the Democrats’ gambit to federally take over elections and turn the country into a one-party state.
Manchin has already announced he would vote “no” on the bill, explaining that such a move would only cause further division. Yet, in a move repeated over and over in his career, he’s going back on his word, trying to tout an amendment watering down the bill a bit (which won’t pass Democrat muster, much less Republican) as some kind of magic compromise.
Now, under pressure from Chuck Schumer, Manchin has folded like a wash-and-wear suit.

As long as he doesn't fold on the filibuster I don't care.

He and Sinema will come under extreme pressure between now and 2023. Supposedly, other senators are opposed to changing the rules. I have to think they will be "taken care of" ... just recall the Obamacare mass political suicide.
