117th Congress: DEMS IN DISARRAY!!!111!!

[Kepler]

It really isn't.

It isn't great. Certainly behind the scenes. Certainly make life difficult for him in the caucus. But not in front of the rubes.

Unless it's 4D chess and this is how we are going to hold on to our red state Members. "Yeah, I'll vote for Joe again, he really owns the libs!"

And that's the way you need to deal with those scumbags. Nothing but scorn and derision. They forfeited any right to civil debate when they tried to overthrow our government.

If Manchin is being a turd about a particular vote on something, then there's nothing wrong with publicly calling him out on it. The guy has 4 freakin' years to worry about his re-election chances.

If the socialist wing of the party were smart, they would deal with Nancy to ram all their pipe dream legislation through the House so that Manchin can shoot it down in the Senate for show, while voting for the things that we know need to be done for everyone's sake.

So this is why Manchin is so against Tanden. She said mean things about his daughter.

Never a doubt in anyone’s mind.

Does Joe Manchin respond well to being called out publicly? Based on what we know about him, and how he’s responded in the past, I’m thinking probably not.
I agree that everything feasible under a budget reconciliation bill should be included in the House’s bill, but I doubt it was. Ram more in on the next one though. Maybe moderates in the House and Sinema/Manchin will ease up some on the “X has nothing to do with coronavirus crisis at hand” viewpoint.

Totally deserved. Epi-Pen was gouging Americans.

Definitely fair criticism. Being the first female big pharma CEO doesn't excuse that. Women are perfectly capable of being ghouls, too. They just haven't been given an equal chance yet. Someone please, think of the female millionaires! ;-)

Very fair criticism. I like how aoc went after Biden today on teen migrant camps. Not ok for Trump, also not ok for Biden.
