    Jentleson is the best observer of the Senate we have and worth attending to. The question is how to get Manchin on board with Biden's agenda. Would moving some big government offices to West Virginia do the trick? Or is being a spoiler essential to Manchin's political identity.https://twitter.com/AJentleson/status/1362910304489897984 …

    This is the cheapest, lamest brand of performative bipartisanship. Tanden is clearly qualified and will help Biden deliver the same results Manchin claims to seek. Manchin voted for Kavanaugh and nearly all of Trump’s nominees. But this is the fight he chooses to pick? Come on. https://twitter.com/marianne_levine/status/1362870975646285833 …

        Manchin is pulling moves to get what he wants from Biden. I have absolutely no idea what it is that he wants, though.

        Look if he's going to be performative about 1 or 2 nominees for his "brand" but then vote for relief/$15 min wage and nuke filibuster for HR1 after lots of huffing/puffing, consternation and do it "reluctantly" and with a "heavy heart" while using these votes as cover, then ok

        He can even write a letter pointing to his bipartisan record and how fellow independent thinker Sienema would have her main county reduced from 100 voting sites to 15 due Republican extremism, so they have to do this to keep things fair and balanced...

        I still wonder if there is a GOP yes vote out there.

        Manchin misdiagnoses the problem with Neera. It's not that she's a "partisan" Democrat. It's that she's a vicious person - toward republicans, democratic rivals, libyans, and the poor alike.

        I think "spoiler" is key to how he sees his identity. He just needs to be seen bucking the party for its own sake. And I could make the argument that a strike at Tanden - especially citing her tweets and not "concerns about the deficit" is a "harm reduction" way to do it.

        How exactly is she “clearly qualified”?

        Manchin: “i’ll vote for your nominee, Mr. President, but it ain’t gonna be for free.”

        It has become painfully clear that @Sen_JoeManchin & @SenatorSinema cannot be persuaded with measures that help their constituents. All they care about is obstructing their own party's legislative agenda. They are moral cowards and political quislings.
