Manchin looks like he's skulking around the back of the chamber and ready to dart out asap...weird..

Dude is just a "Fortunate Son" to quote the old CCR tune...Nervous and darting eyes as he pretends to take diligent notes...

1. Why doesn't Manchin educate his voters about the benefits of Biden's programs and plans.

They will get so much more help from Biden than the GOP.

Why doesn't Manchin let his voters know this?

5. I agree

He should do that.

6. I think it may be up to his voters to educate him about how they will benefit.

And how he will not benefit in a primary if he stands in the way.

7. That is why he better start talking to his voters.

[dflprincess]

8. Better yet, he should start listening to them

I'll bet most of them, like most of America, support Biden's plans.

10. Exactly. Good point.

9. You mean do actual work??!! Shiiiiit, you must be crazy! nt

11. Yes, some of our elected officials forget why they got elected in the first place.

2. I did notice at the beginning,

His assigned chair was at the very back. He was chatting with Romney.

3. You have a very good point.

Could it be because he doesn't want to? I noticed his odd behavior too. At one point it looked like he was lolling on a sofa or armchair and "journaliing" as my hubby put it. Weird.

4. Claire McCaskill said that she used to try to sit in the back on, the aisle

so she could beat the crowd out. Maybe Manchin doesn't want to get the evil eye from the Deems and he wants to slip out quickly.
