Manchin and Sinema

28. Because she is crazy, she is the easy one to flip.

Manchin was the harder one to turn. So McConnell had to promise and deliver more to Manchin. Which has paid off handsomely for McConnell.

Manchin has been the one who has delivered to McConnell the most damage to Biden and the Democratic Party. Manchin's relentless attack on issues and process are like launched missiles. McConnell by himself could never have done so much damage.

This by the way is the tell. If Manchin had just stated how he was going to vote and left it at that, I would not be so suspicious of hi. But his constant and relentless attacks on Biden and our party serve only one purpose, and that purpose aligns with McConnell.

I think we can safely assume that McConnell has full psy-op profiles on all sitting US senators, even his own party. And full background checks going back to childhood. This would certainly explain his grip on every one.

Manchin is a narcissistic personality disorder, maybe sociopathic as well.
His ego is fairly strong and intact. Not easily damaged.

Sinema on the other hand seems more ego fragile, blurred sense of reality, has an insatiable appetite for money and approval. She would be a very easy target.

I think McConnell made up his mind he was never going to lose his iron grip on power again. And I think this is a man who always has a Plan B. So when the polls looked bad in Ga. he know what had to be done.

In terms of our side doing it, I think we can assume it has been tried. But we cannot pry GOP senators away from McConnell. He is like the godfather, you don't really want to cross him.
