Any chance Murkowski will support BBB?

Trump already is supporting someone to primary her. She once won as a write in candidate (with that hard to spell name!). She may see the handwriting on the wall regarding indictments against many in the Republican Party?
Should she be courted and just forget about Manchin?

that path goes through the turtle. which, imho, is who we rly ought to be playing hardball with.
i would assume most who voted for the bif are possible yes votes, but....

joe should sit him down and tell him that his days of stopping legislation w the wave of his hand are over. stop abusing the filibuster, or lose it.

Although she has shown bravery in the past, as in the impeachment vote, at the end of the day she is a conservative.

She has a belief system that very well be that she is, on a deep level, against the ideals embodied in BBB.

I wouldn’t count on any of the GOP doing anything for the people if they have to vote for a Democratic bill

always defend big business and big business doesn't want this. It is the same on the Supreme court. They represented big business at their large law firms so no surprise when they decide in favor of big business.

Per his statement this morning.

They can all go spend some time at home and hear from their constituents.
Especially those in Blue States.
That's where it matters right now & I hope those R's in Blue States hear from the voters.

Sucks when we're left grasping for a morsel of hope or possibility doesn't it.
Ugh.
