He told us he could get at least 10 to vote for his brand of bullshit. So where the hell are they?

He is the definition of believing in something just for the sake of believing in it
He can't find proof to support his assertion, so he just continues repeating it; kind of like a parrot (or a republican congressional rep)

I never expected Manchin to be successful but I was hoping for a couple of votes. MoscowMitch appears to have been successful in whipping the votes against Manchin to keep a couple of GOP senators from voting.
The next step is to use nuke option to force a talking filibuster which would be fun to watch
