She's from a purple state that another Dem could win, and she has several incidents now (the curtsy, this recent speech, etc) that are easy to make into a commercial in a Dem primary. Note that Mark Kelly from the same state is not the problem for us that she is, neither is Warnock and Ossoff from an equally purple state in GA.

Manchin is from a deep red state and there is little we can do to him.

The old school Dems would dig up dirt on both of them and pull their strings ... wish we had some of that hardball mentality in this current party. Sinema and Manchin seem to have no fear of disrespecting a Dem President and derailing his agenda.

What consequences? Go sit in the corner? Time out? That's ridiculous. Find ways to make deals. LENNY0229 Jan 2022 #8

You mean pay them more than what they're getting elsewhere? KPN Jan 2022 #12

That means continuing NEGOTIATIONS and not punishing them which will only worsen the situation. LENNY0229 Jan 2022 #23

Only if the other party negotiates in good faith can you negotiate. If not, KPN Jan 2022 #35

And Sinema and Manchin take a walk to the GOP side and we lose the majority immediately. Demsrule86 Jan 2022 #43

"Negotiations are possible, pressuring or punishing them is not." Maybe, maybe not. KPN Jan 2022 #47

What "consequences" will get them to change? You don't punish. You deal. No punishment will work. LENNY0229 Jan 2022 #6

That is simply untrue...a GOP is just as likely to win...maybe more so since the state is playing Demsrule86 Jan 2022 #30
