Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsCan we PLEASE STOP pretending that Susan Collins is going to do ANYTHING that requires
political courage, or principle???

I'm reminded of a saying one of my Chiefs used to use in the Navy; "never try to teach a goat to sing. It's a waste of your time and it pieces off the goat"
In other words...QUIT WASTING YOUR FUCKING TIME

schumer is giving manchin, et al permission to vote yes as long as it isnt going to count. if there are any r-no votes out there, they will be told to, and i suspect know they have to, vote no.
