It would seem easier to convince Romney and Murkowski than the 2 bribed "Democrats"

[ElementaryPenguin]

Romney and Murkowski both HATE Trump and know without these voting rights bills passing - we would likely be headed towards a Trump dictatorship!

They both impeached Trump. Trump despises them. There is no future for either in the Trump party.

Why would they not?

Manchin and Sinema clearly have been bought off and absolutely do not care!

I hope Dems are making every effort to get a couple disgruntled anti-Trump Republicans to flip on this.

1. Manchin and Sinema clearly have been bought off ...

On Mary Trump's most recent podcast, it was suggested that we just out-bid their current donors. How much will it take? It's only money.

2. I agree with Mary Trump!

We need to find out what their price is!

The survival of our democracy - the survival of life on this planet...

Whatever the damn price is PAY IT!!!

Michael Bloomberg could come in handy again!

6. Maybe we should contact their offices for an estimate.

7. LOL!

3. they won't vote for a carve-out, so you need 8 more Rethugs to get to cloture, 7 if Concern Collins

joins the other two.

Even then, Sinema and/or Manchin (I especially do not trust him on this) might not vote for the voter bills, and it is highly unlikely any Rethug will actually vote for the bills.

Even IF you get a carve out, Manchin and/or Sinema might even then not vote for the bills, out of spite (and claim it was an illegitimate bypass).

5. Ugh.

Thanks.

We really have to outbid their owner with bigger bribes.

9. I have become very pessimistic on any of the voter bills passing, and the BBB Act is on life support

IF we bollocks all of them up, then the already bad 2022 midterms outlook (and thus likely 2024 and the POTUS as well, for a number of reasons) becomes even worse.

4. Murkowski first has to survive a Trumpist primary challenger

[Nevilledog]

8. She's a real winner

10. Jeez!

Where do they find these creatures?!

11. And we thought the "I am not a witch" was bizarre
