8 thoughts on “Democrats try to ‘build back’ after Manchin tanks $2T bill

  1. America should be thankful that Manchin is principled and willing to deny the communists running his party. The last thing we need in America is to be the next Venezuela, we’re certainly not far away.

  2. Indeed, DH; right on.

    Sooner or later, though, here’s betting Manchin will cave. Remember that Indiana’s own Joe Donnelly caved at the last minute to the evil machinations of Obama and the Dem faithful to cast the deciding vote at the eleventh hour that gave us Obamacare.

    1. Yes, those evil people trying to get our country to break the top 50 countries in terms of citizens health….

      Let’s keep spending .50 of every tax dollar on wars we are not even winning…

    2. James M, where do you get such nonsense as to imply there are 50+ countries in the world that have better heath care than the United States of America? If that were the case, our citizens would be fleeing to those countries for care. Would you care to point to an accurate study to support your silly accusation?

  3. But the lifelong Democrat was less clear when asked if the party still has room for him — describing himself as “fiscally responsible and socially compassionate.” Manchin said: “Now, if there’s no Democrats like that then they have to push me wherever they want.”

    After months of negotiations with the White House and Senate staff members as well as Biden and fellow senators, he lashed out at hardline tactics against him by those he said “just beat the living crap out of people and think they’ll be submissive.”

    1. You probably thought this was funny and clever when you decided to fire off this great one liner.

  4. This is further evidence that Biden’s win over Trump was simply a protest vote against Trump and not the perceived mandate to spend wildly on social programs. Thank goodness Joe has broad shoulders. It appears the radical left wore him out and he just basically said enough is enough. Makes my day. Merry Christmas America.
