      There's some pessimism about 2022 but should factor in possible grounds for hope: 1) stimulus & pandemic end could create Biden boom 2) Dem coalition now has more college educated, who vote in mid-terms 3) without Trump on ticket, GOP culture war pitch could fizzle as in 2018.

      Going forward, might be good to throw Manchin some symbolic fights over useless stuff he can do a victory dance on. Nominate some of the Neera Bots to high position & have him reject. Then get him in on big bills.

          There's not enough data points to be 100% sure of this but there is reason to think (based on special elections, midterms, Georgia 2021) that Trumpism without Trump isn't electorally good for GOP. You need Trump on ballot with his special ability to energize marginal voters.

          Dems could drag the Cat in the Hat to the floor for a summary execution, only to have Manchin dramatically rescue him.

          IOW, have him do a reverse Susan Collins. Works for me.

          That was always my read on the Tanden thing. Intentional or not, she was the sacrificial lamb and the altar of Manchin's bipartisanship. And if it really was intentional, god damn that's a genius move.

          I don't think it would be a bad thing, but what's the upside? Making it easier for him to vote yes on big things?

          Just accept that Manchin and Teater are toast in four years and go full bore. It’s astounding that this package will become law. Thanks to Trump for making it happen (by disillusioning just enough Georgia voters to flip those seats)

          They should just be using the obvious stratedgy of having every bill propose twice what they want. For the people act has 5 more sections that make it illegal for white people to vote and then manchin can negotiate it down to equal voting rights.

          This implies that Manchin is primarily driven by voter concerns and that is demonstrably not the case. Why keep repeating this?
