The one "positive" from this is that absolutely zero funds need to be allocated to defending it and they can go to Brown (OH), Tester (MT), and Gallego (AZ). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, don't you worry, the Democrats will find a gun-loving war vet small business owner-type to pump a bunch of money into only to lose by 20 points. It's the one thing the DNC is good at! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone posted on ResetERA: Quote Manchin killed the child tax credit. For a brief, BRIEF period of time, the United States took a sledgehammer towards childhood poverty. He killed it cause he thought poor folks would use the money for drugs. This isn't true. It's been shown it isn't true. None of that matter to him. So, good riddance to Joe "Maserati" Mancin and his boat - thanks for confirming the judges, but now go away forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Inflation Reduction Act, with the caveat that it should have been bigger if it weren't for him. But him being in the Senate did allow us to even tackle a huge climate and health care bill like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
