@moorehn It would take a walk of maybe 15 feet for Manchin to caucus with the Republicans who would preserve or enhance all his committee assignments. That's the problem with armchair experts who are advocating threats -- Manchin alone could make McConnell the majority leader. — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan I think a large portion of the problem was that Democratic activists refused to be realistic about what a 50-50 Senate meant. And Biden and Company, petrified of losing the Democratic base, played along with their ludicrous delusions. The result: Terrible disillusionment. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 Alternative they had was to recognize from the outset that $1.5 trillion was about the most they might get under reconciliation. And to strip everything that didn't affect 2022 directly out of the voting bill. We don't need for Election Day to be a national holiday, for example. — PolitiTweet.org
