(9,670 posts)It'll take a lot of diplomacy within the party to goad Sinema and Manchin to go along with any Biden nominees. Rest assured even the most moderate choice will be painted as a tree huggin' lib and the media will go right along with the mischaracterization.

(24,396 posts)And then the Republican and right-wing tantrums will be used as proof of the "divisiveness" of any nominee- and likely be seized upon by Manchin and Sinema as reason to demand Biden nominate somebody else. And I'm not even mentioning the probable race and/or gender of any prospective nominees and the outrage and hysteria THAT will cause.

(32,599 posts)Not sure about Sinema's record, but Manchin has gone with the party vote. I sincerely hope that continues, because we need Manchin to do his job and not make waves. He has already done enough damage.
