SaysWho? Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'm not worried about Manchin. He was on all Sunday shows pushing this bill and sending messages to Sinema to support it: Manchin to Sinema: Believe in this bill - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM All eyes have now turned to the Arizona Democrat to see if she will support the legislation agreed to last week. Quote And Manchin had plenty of work to do during his quintet of appearances, with hosts pressing him whether the bill really fights inflation and how imposing a new minimum tax on large corporations might affect the economy. Faced with those questions, Manchin said simply on "Fox News Sunday": "We did not raise taxes. We closed loopholes." He also made sure to credit Sinema with cajoling Democrats into that tax-skeptic position after many in her party weighed surtaxes on high earners and pushed for rate increases. Though Sinema's stayed quiet since Manchin and Schumer announced the deal on Wednesday, Manchin said that he "would like to think she'd be favorable to it." "Kyrsten Sinema is a friend of mine, and we work very close together. She has a tremendous, tremendous input in this legislation," Manchin said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "She basically insisted [on] no tax increases, [we've] done that. And she was very, very adamant about that, I agree with her. She was also very instrumental" on prescription drug reform. Quote Manchin said he didn't brief Sinema or anyone else in the Democratic Caucus on his negotiations because of the very real possibility they would fall apart. He said on CNN that when Sinema "looks at the bill and sees the whole spectrum of what we're doing and all of the energy we're bringing in, all of the reduction of prices and fighting inflation by bringing prices down, by having more energy, hopefully, she will be positive about it." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that most Democrats in that position would hedge their language and say something like "that's a misrepresentation" or even just soften it by calling it "untrue".

Jason Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Democratic anxiety grows over Sinema’s silence THEHILL.COM Senate Democrats are growing more anxious over maverick Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D-Ariz.) five-day silence on a sweeping proposal to reform the tax code, tackle climate change and reduce the fed… On 7/27/2022 at 2:29 PM, Commissar SFLUFAN said: I get the sense that this wouldn't be so public if Sinema was in doubt. On 7/27/2022 at 5:23 PM, Commissar SFLUFAN said: As I stated earlier, I really do get the feeling that Sinema was "in the room" (at least metaphorically) when this was negotiated between Schumer and Manchin. Quote Manchin acknowledged to reporters Monday that Sinema was left out of last week’s quiet negotiations with Schumer, even though she had played a key role in talks with the White House last year.

Air_Delivery Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think Sinema is not happy with the Medicare negotiation part of the deal because she is a whore for Big Pharma but its going to be hard for her to argue taking that out. So I suspect she is gonna make up some reason and tank the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
