I'm not 100% convinced but this (long) thread does make me look at Manchin in a different light. Sounds to me like he's sort of an inverse Susan Collins - constantly has "concerns" about bipartisanship that let him come across as moderate, but reliably votes Dem when it matters.https://twitter.com/AtticusGF/status/1368671053371731969 …
Yeah, I mean, Manchin's politics are way to the right of, say, mine. But if he votes against a bill you can trust and believe it's bc the Democratic leadership didn't care about it passing.
