How long can Sinema and Manchin hold out?  It is amazing how the GOP folks and these two are being demonized because they have a different opinion.  They need to pay attention to SC Senator Tim Scott

"Rather than shining a light on America's progress, Biden seems to dwell in the distant past—a time when my granddaddy couldn't use the same sidewalk as a white person. His rhetoric is beyond disingenuous. As a Black southerner whose family lived through Jim Crow, it's insulting."

And on another note I compare Sinema and Manchin to the GOP holdouts who kept Republican backed bills from passing.  McCain (and then Lindsey Graham) saved Obamacare, simply because it would have been a stray in Trumps cap. Egos, Egos, Egos (even though Trump did burn the McCain "probably only a rope" bridge.

On another note, WOW to look back on GOP presidential candidates before Trump.  How far out of line with true GOP thought were McCain and Romney?!!  Oh well, would love to have a mean tweet and 1.75 gas.

A mean tweet is one thing, but when Trump started demonizing everyone, I think he jumped the shark.  I really think the only reason Biden was elected was because he promised a return to Nornal - but it's been anything but.  

Trump had a lot of moment when he coud have stepped up and calmed the waters in a very Presidential way, but he didn't.  He could also have run on his accomplishents, which were singificant.
