McMullin arguing Lee gets nothing done, betrayed principles with Trump: "Not what a constitutional conservative does" Lee campaign is: McMullin is a Democrat can't “convince the Democratic Party not to run a candidate and to back you ... and pretend to be ideologically neutral" — PolitiTweet.org

McMullin says he's running as another Romney, basically. Wants to be in "room where it happens." Mentions Romney multiple times, says his neutrality is "greatly appreciated" Lee said it’d be great to have” Romney’s backing, “I plan, intend and expect to win with or without it" — PolitiTweet.org

Asked McMullin: If it's 50-49 and you could prevent McConnell from a majority, would you caucus with Schumer? He said no. Since 50s, indys caucus with someone to get committee assignments. McMullin says he'd get them Lee: McMullin would be in "no man's land" — PolitiTweet.org

McMullin says it's close, and some public polls have it in the single digits. Lee handed me an internal poll showing him up 14 “I’m taking it very seriously,” Lee said in an interview. “It’s still closer than I’d like it to be.” Romney still neutral https://t.co/7mHgGb6w00 — PolitiTweet.org

The strangest Senate race in America - Evan McMullin, former R running as indy and backed by state Dems Insists he won't caucus with McConnell or Schumer - Utah Sen. Lee, pugnacious conservative who became Trump ally but in 2016 voted for ... McMullin https://t.co/OeeF871z6m — PolitiTweet.org

Warner and Hickenlooper played big role behind scenes aiding the Sinema-Manchin talks. Right before Sinema deal, Warner went to house boat but got drenched. He left wearing a pair of Manchin shorts and shirt. Manchin returned Warner's suit fully pressed Saturday — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema was in the dark after that, so when she found about Manchin-Schumer deal, it was from Thune on the Senate floor Coincidence? She had deal behind scenes with Thune to support his corporate tax amendment Schumer: “I thought we wouldn’t pass the bill,” — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Manchin had all the leverage for months, but he had to cede ground to Sinema on taxes. (She told Schumer mid-July she wouldn't do carried interest) Bill was roughly $1T at end of June til Manchin pumped brakes “I just said, ‘Chuck, I can’t do that’ … That’s when he got mad,” — PolitiTweet.org

W @marianne_levine Schumer told us this as he chomped on a celebratory meal of leftover pasta Manchin observed of relationship w Sinema and + tax dispute: “We have more in common than we don’t." Hick: “They both are pains in the neck, but pains in the neck who I respect,” — PolitiTweet.org

TICK TOCK Sinema, Manchin and the anatomy of a deal “We argue with each other on issues, but we try to respect each other,” Schumer said of Manchin. “Sinema, if she gives you her word, you got it. But she’s not a schmoozer like Manchin.” https://t.co/EvZpNkipH0 — PolitiTweet.org

About those corporate tax changes at the end there ... "It's not my first choice. But it was all good. On balance this package is so good that I'm not going to nitpick. It is historic," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow https://t.co/W6aN1BYFUF @marianne_levine @jordainc @caitlinzemma — PolitiTweet.org

Harris didn't vote/break ties on other amendments because Dems wanted them to fail. And a tied 50-50 vote fails. — PolitiTweet.org
