You didn't think Trump would get elected. These types come out of nowhere and as we can all see, they don't always make sense. They don't have to make sense. MTG for example would probably get 71 million votes, same as Trump.

If you think there might be, name them.
Thought they needed like 8 more? And if Manchin is pulling a Manchin, 9 more?Just need 1 more....

Wait.. Manchin is a nay but Romney is a yay?Need 9 more....

Don't be so quick to think it couldn't happen again.Please. Trump is an anomaly whose cult of personality failed to prevail. There's nobody to replace him. If you think there might be, name them.
Kamala?to my understanding all 50 D’s are aboard with Manchin choosing his words carefully and Mitt is the first republican on board. Thus 51 of 60.
Maybe I am wrong
Plus, the next "Trump" may not be "Trump" but he will certainly be smarter, more cunning and not blabber the secret part out loud as much as "Trump." did.Don't be so quick to thing it couldn't happen again.
1. Americans always fail to learn from history
2. Republicans currently hijacking the election process in so many states. Don't like the SoS certifying the election in a given state? Just turn over that job to the Republican legislature.
3. Show up at the state capital and just start attacking, kidnapping people and stage an insurrection. After all Republicans have the Ron Johnson defense
I think I have been getting at that point the entire timeThey need 60 votes, not 50+ tie breaker.
Need 9 more....
GoddamnitThey need 60 votes, not 50+ tie breaker.
Gotcha.Kamala only votes when it is a tie, you cannot have a tie with a 60 vote threshold.
intersting thing will be if Liz Chaney supports it because this commission has a good chance of torpedoing mid term candidates.
Gotcha.
So. It will take Manchin waving the filibuster around for them to cross over. Not happening. So its just wasting time until it returns to the House and Pelosi puts something together herself.
Yes. And that is what I am predicting will NOT happen.. Unless Manchin threatens to rip the FB. So. Back to Pelosi.or Manchin votes yes for commission as in all 50 senate democrats vote yes plus 10 other senators, now 9 with Mitt on board.
You mean you are starting to get a clue, Manchin?Wait.. Manchin is a nay but Romney is a yay?
Nah
Joe Manchin calls increasingly likely GOP filibuster of Jan. 6 commission 'so disheartening'

But could it be a brick in the filibuster wall?
"Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who has repeatedly expressed opposition to eliminating the filibuster, in an interview "seemed aghast" that Republicans are set to block the commission, Politico wrote.
"So disheartening," he said. "It makes you really concerned about our country.""
Cheney's in the House. She already voted in favor of the commission.Kamala only votes when it is a tie, you cannot have a tie with a 60 vote threshold.

Which, in this case, is actually fine. The Dems would be firmly in control of a House-empaneled Select Committee whereas they'd have to work with bad-faith Republicans if the compromise commission actually passed the Senate. I'm personally *way* more concerned with Manchin and Sinema's unwillingness to do something about voting rights' filibusters.Yes. And that is what I am predicting will NOT happen..

Is there an angle where, if bipartisan, it would get more cover on conservative media? Fox, newsmax, oan etc? Or is that the ~same? Cause yea, going the rounds and getting the rejection all around means "see, we tried" and now dems get to do it THEIR way. If GQP'ers were smart they'd jump on it.Which, in this case, is actually fine.
