Manchin has a philosophy of working with Republicans to achieve compromises-- there have been articles written about that, not recent ones as well as recent ones-- it's what he learned early on in politics. But that also means he is willing to compromise with members of his own party. What he will never pass is legislation that is perceived as anti-coal, because that is perceived as the economic life-blood of WV. Some of the greener aspects of the 3.5T will have to go to get his approval.
