Schumer should take Manchin's and Sinema's priorities and put them up for votes

[LonePirate]

Schumer needs to obtain the top 3-5 personal priorities for both Manchin and Sinema and put them all in separate bills and then let them watch as the Republicans refuse to vote for cloture, thus killing each and every bill.

If Manchin and Sinema are so enthralled with the filibuster, they should be forced to see the GOP refuse to allow votes on their bills because of the filibuster. Maybe if they both suffered some actual pain or bruised egos when their bills die, maybe, just maybe they will understand how betrayed the rest of the party feels with their lies and hypocrisy related to their own filibuster stances.

1. Exactly the right approach.

2. I don't think they would give a rats ass

Do they even have any priorities other than catering to their financial windfalls?

4. I don't think they have any pet projects or bills they want to pass. They simply want the money.

If they were Republicans, they would freely be called corrupt grifters on here.

3. Both of them are set for life

But it's worth a try. Nothing else seems to work.

5. Maybe, but I suspect the Republicans will reward them by passing their bills.

And depending on Manchin and Sinema's priorities are, that might be our best shot at the Senate passing something decent in the next few months.

So it's a good tactic either way.

8. Except

People like my two Senators - could be persuaded to vote No. Booker and Menendez don't play nice.

10. Risk that might be worth taking.

6. Except they don't have any priorities

except personal wealth and power. Manchin wants bipartisanship ??? And Sinema doesn't have any we know of.

7. You assume they have actual things they want passed.

9. Can Schumer strip them of committee posts?

At some point, if they are going to obstruct everything, then they don’t deserve any privilege of being on a committee. I honestly don’t know how any of the Dem senators can look at them without deep disgust and contempt…I’m so sick of them…
