Manchin and Sinema may be scared of President Joe's Bipartisan push on Infrastructure [View all]

Because if it succeeds in prying lose 2 sane Republican Senators to vote for their constituents' Best Interests and not the party line on the 3.5 T Infrastructure Bill...

They will lose ALL their power and influence and become just 2 more Senators on the losing side.

And there are very possibly 2 rethugs who may be swayed out of the 7 who voted to impeach TFG.

7 GOP Senators Voted To Convict Trump. Only 1 Faces Voters Next Year

Of those seven Republicans, two are retiring and only one — Alaska's Lisa Murkowski — faces her state's voters in the next election cycle, 2022.
...
Senator: Richard Burr, North Carolina
Senator: Bill Cassidy, Louisiana
Senator: Susan Collins, Maine
Senator: Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
Senator: Mitt Romney, Utah
Senator: Ben Sasse, Nebraska
Senator: Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania


Let those of us who live in their States start putting pressure on them to support the President's push to make America THE modern Economic Powerhouse for the next 20 years.

After all, the Horse may sing.

I don't think he'll go along with this BumRushDaShow Sep 2021 #10
And that's a good argument for why he wouldn't... 2naSalit Sep 2021 #11
Since that list of Rs was just showing those who voted for conviction BumRushDaShow Sep 2021 #13

I am inclined to agree with the OP DFW Sep 2021 #15
Yes. This is the kind of pressure to put on Joe & K - make them irrelevant and their egos will sing. Tommymac Sep 2021 #17
Manchin and Sinema will vote for it Buckeyeblue Sep 2021 #18
Unfortunately, three of them come from oil or coal states. hedda_foil Sep 2021 #19
I agree it will be difficult...I think Toomey could be swayed. Tommymac Sep 2021 #20
