I'm having a crazy thought here on the Senate vote

If Manchin AND Sinema were the FIRST two to vote yes, would that draw a couple of RETHUGLICONS vote? They would KNOW it will pass for sure. Just thinking out loud here.

Unlikely. Republicans already know the bill can pass without them. PoliticAverse Oct 2021 #3

Less than doubtful. Repubs would rather see the republic fail than Biden succeed.

Remember the ACA - Republicans has a lot of input in the final bill but in the end not a single Republican voted for it.

Keep the optimistic view Bluestarone… it’s never bad to be optimistic.

Sadly, the realistic view is that the GOP is a lost cause and Senator “I’m really a Republican”Manchin and Senator “Look at me” Cinema have not only singlehandedly destroyed what could have been the most important advances to help this nation since the New Deal making it a skeleton of what it could and should be, but they may even still vote No.

It’s a very depressing and disgusting state of affairs our country finds itself and I don’t know how this is going to end but I am not as optimistic as you.
