Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey have ALL purportedly reached out to Joe Manchin, urging him to support reforms to the Senate filibuster. The ONLY way I see fork tongued Manchin budging is if they offer him a new Maserati, yacht, or a cashier's check. 😒
@ElginCharles You know he loves being so important that the most powerful people in the country are pleading with him.
@ElginCharles We need 2-4 Dem billionaires to bribe him (& Sinema) w/better cash & perks than the GOP & Russian billionaires already have. Think of it as an auction - MUST bid highest. Failure not an option. This is ALL they are in it for. They have NO ideology.
@ElginCharles And YOU get a Maserati, and YOU get a Maserati, and YOU get a Maserati
@ElginCharles They should ask both of them “what do you want? What will it take for you to agree to a carve out? Money? Ambassadorships for your family? What?”
@ElginCharles I believe an announcement of investigation into his family s financial dealings would do the trick
@ElginCharles Let’s go old school see you out side. Lol
@ElginCharles Exactly with JM and KS it would take paying them more than the GOP has been paying them
@ElginCharles I’m beginning to think he has enough money and he’s collecting “grovels” now. What people who are way out of his league can he force to come to him asking for favors?
@ElginCharles There has to be 2 Republicans that could step in and fill the divide! They must put some energy into getting them!
@ElginCharles You're not wrong. He will remain unmoved by any overture by any person that doesn't come with something in hand that benefits just *one* person and that person is, of course, @JoeManchinWV @Sen_JoeManchin, the "Gimme Guy."
