Anyway, time will tell. He's done this bit before and it ended in a spot Democrats were fine with (kill HR1, but then write a bill on his own terms), so we'll just have to wait and see. Usually he puts out the 'optimistic' signal/path forward fairly quickly — PolitiTweet.org

@BenjySarlin you could tell a story about how it's easier to get progressives on board for compromise if manchin kills the house vision first. the white house preserves its credibility most with progressives that way, esp if WH is visibly unhappy (see, their statement). this may be too clever — PolitiTweet.org
