Romney and Murkowski both HATE Trump and know without these voting rights bills passing - we would likely be headed towards a Trump dictatorship!
They both impeached Trump. Trump despises them. There is no future for either in the Trump party.
Why would they not?
Manchin and Sinema clearly have been bought off and absolutely do not care!
I hope Dems are making every effort to get a couple disgruntled anti-Trump Republicans to flip on this.

(4,012 posts)On Mary Trump's most recent podcast, it was suggested that we just out-bid their current donors. How much will it take? It's only money.

Even then, Sinema and/or Manchin (I especially do not trust him on this) might not vote for the voter bills, and it is highly unlikely any Rethug will actually vote for the bills.
Even IF you get a carve out, Manchin and/or Sinema might even then not vote for the bills, out of spite (and claim it was an illegitimate bypass).

We really have to outbid their owner with bigger bribes.

(43,369 posts)IF we bollocks all of them up, then the already bad 2022 midterms outlook (and thus likely 2024 and the POTUS as well, for a number of reasons) becomes even worse.
