A+ ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2021 #39
Thank you for saying that...You are correct, they don't vote with Dems where it matters Escurumbele Jun 2021 #57
He is just an old style conservative Southern Democrat. No difference than Wallace, Faubus, and all LiberalArkie Jun 2021 #83
No, they only vote with Republicans when it comes to disenfranchising non-white voters. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2021 #24
thank you. PA_jen Jun 2021 #28
Great idea. Primary him, maybe a with a socialist turned Democrat. bottomofthehill Jun 2021 #35
No...HR 1 is what matters SamsDrink Jun 2021 #62
WE WON'T HAVE THE HOUSE THEN budkin Jun 2021 #64
Right, so threatening to primary him in 2024 proves what point bottomofthehill Jun 2021 #68
Agreed. I don't get what part of soldierant Jun 2021 #69
We LITERALLY have minority rule RIGHT NOW budkin Jun 2021 #72
+1,562,845 SergeStorms Jun 2021 #85
No. I agree that it is HR 1 that matters now. The Rs are not going to support anything else for the Trust_Reality Jun 2021 #74
With "friends" like Manchin NEOBuckeye Jun 2021 #63
Bingo! PA_jen Jun 2021 #65
Well, we won't see any further legislation passed Bettie Jun 2021 #12
handing 2022 to the republicans PA_jen Jun 2021 #22
I don't think so. I think it will rally the vote like Georgia soothsayer Jun 2021 #32
At this point it is the only point of hope I have... Bettie Jun 2021 #36
Yes. Whatever is repressed springs back 10x stronger soothsayer Jun 2021 #46
I also saw that our turnout (Iowa) Bettie Jun 2021 #51
I am in Georgia. No Democrat will ever................ UGADawg Jun 2021 #71
As in '20 disputes will go to the courts. SCOTUS made it very clear, PortTack Jun 2021 #77
It's still useful Elessar Zappa Jun 2021 #82
We'll see Bettie Jun 2021 #86
I think he'll support most Elessar Zappa Jun 2021 #100
What's the point of Schumer being majority leader ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #14
Schumer still controls nominating judges. Sibelius Fan Jun 2021 #16
Actually it's the President who nominates judges ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #20
Schumer can guide them thru and use McConnell Tactics on Judges against him PA_jen Jun 2021 #23
Sure he can ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #29
yeah that is true too. PA_jen Jun 2021 #34
As long as Joe Manchin agrees with Bettie Jun 2021 #37
The Covid Relief Bill, Biden's cabinet and Democratic Judges getting confirmed by the Senate... Tom Rinaldo Jun 2021 #19
Ok ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #26
It's plausible Manchin could support further bills going through reconciliation Tom Rinaldo Jun 2021 #40
Plausible? ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #41
It would be passed thru reconciliation...might want to read about that PortTack Jun 2021 #75
Only Manchin votes for it ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #88
Of course it is plausible. It's been tried once so far under Biden and Manchin supported it Tom Rinaldo Jun 2021 #90
Yes ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #97
Thst has not been done. Passing multi-trillion dollar legislation via reconciliation Tom Rinaldo Jun 2021 #101
It is also plausible ChrisF1961 Jun 2021 #102
And therein lies our only hope. Ligyron Jun 2021 #99
Don't worry that will happen. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2021 #25
TIRED EXCUSE budkin Jun 2021 #45

Manchin's State DownriverDem Jun 2021 #78
Definitely puts it in perspective. Hoyt Jun 2021 #89
You have the right to say that and I am responding that my reaction is, we Democratic are so weak ShazamIam Jun 2021 #93
Stacy Abrams was smart enough to tell people that Georgia's new election law Hoyt Jun 2021 #96
That is fine distraction and gaslighting, I am saying Manchin is a Dixicrat. All that other stuff ShazamIam Jun 2021 #98
Don't think Manchin is a Dixiecrat. Manchin did take the Senate seat from Hoyt Jun 2021 #104
I agree, Dixicrat is obsolete as a label, the new label for that kind is neo-liberal. ShazamIam Jun 2021 #105
I guess he's doing what he thinks pleases his constituents for their vote, right or wrong. Seems he RKP5637 Jun 2021 #2

I do too. I just fear the voter suppression laws effect the 2022 elections. PA_jen Jun 2021 #11
To keep the House & Senate, we will need MASSIVE turnout to overcome Funtatlaguy Jun 2021 #13
yep. PA_jen Jun 2021 #15

I didn't put 2 and 2 together but that is something. PA_jen Jun 2021 #79
I don't think so. This is what Steve Schmidt had to say. Joinfortmill Jun 2021 #84
Everyone I think is wrong is a racist Loki Liesmith Jun 2021 #87
