Sinema: we have more to lose than gain by ending the filibsuter

Good to see these two senators standing strong against progressive pressure.

And I’m guessing Mark Kelly is also on backup. The Republic will endure for the next two years thank God. History will be kind to Manchin and Sinema.

It's refreshing to see a Dem politican who does not lean whichever way his/her political party blows, but rather what they feel is right.

Someone tell these two that McConnell once did away with the filibuster for Trump’s Supreme Court nominees.

They will cave. I wouldn't use the word strong to describe either one. They are negotiating their payoffs to change their vote. I don't trust any Democrat to keep their word.

I hear Manchin is the sacrificial lamb for this bill. There are several Dim Senators who don't want to vote for the bill, but will to keep their fanatic voting base happy.

Are they sticking with 60 votes, or are they backpedaling to that BS 55 compromise Manchin was proposing before?
