(25,225 posts)2. Can We Find A Cache Of Money To Replace Any Monies That Manchin Would Lose.....
jf he stiffs the U.S. CofC and the big money lobbyists.
If this is just about fund raising for Manchin - if another source of money is available to replace any of the monies he's currently getting to turn his back on the Dems - maybe he could be convinced to vote with the Dems and nix the filibuster.
Seems like everything these days boils down to money. When they say its the root of all evil - it really means that in relation to politics.
