7. I don't think that was very wise to announce one's strategy. Regardless, she didn't make that

linkage today, but only said that the House would need to see exactly what the bipartisan bill said before they vote on it.

If the strategy is to hold up the bipartisan bill in the House until the reconciliation part comes through, that might be a long wait, since sinema has already indicated she is not for the 3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation bill

If we had a good 4 or 5 seat majority in the Senate there would be no problems, but unfortunately that is not where things stand, and I suspect the republicans would be very happy if there was no bill

There is a real question if even this bipartisan bill can get 10 republicans to vote for it

Of course if that is the case, the the Democrats have no choice but to just go with the reconciliation bill by itself, and hope sinema and manchin are on board
