don't put everything in one package and never vote until you get the votes to pass it. They said to put it up for a vote and if Manchin or anyone votes no you do whatever it takes to amend the bill to get the votes. The Democrats have made Manchin
the enemy while not one Republican is supporting it. Then we all know they will go back home and take credit for it.
