Manchin's political career is FINISHED if he switches parties.

Trumpanzees won't vote for someone who voted to convict 45 twice. He would be immediately primaries.

What we should have done is hold BIF, make Manchinema vote up or down on a $3.5 trillion BBB, and dare them to defy Biden's agenda and the entire Democratic caucus.

They only behave badly because we didn't draw the line.
