Look at this. That ‘moderate’ W. Virginia Democrat may not be so moderate after all.
The Joe who’s running the show on negotiations over President Biden’s push for $3.5 trillion in taxpayer-funded social spending, Sen. Joe Manchin, signaled Tuesday he might soften his hardline stance on voting for no more than $1.5 trillion for the Democratic package.
“Well I’m not ruling anything out, but the bottom line is I want to make sure that we strategically do the right job and we don’t basically add more to the concerns we have right now,” Manchin told reporters when asked if he would consider a range of $1.9 trillion to $2.2 trillion.

Sen. Joe Manchin, a centrist Democrat who is blocking a massive social welfare spending passage, said he would consider raising the cost of the measure from his proclaimed limit of $1.5 trillion to as high as $2.2 trillion in order to reach a compromise that can satisfy party lawmakers in both chambers.
Manchin told reporters in the Capitol he won’t rule out a measure that costs between $1.9 trillion and $2.2 trillion, which is the range President Joe Biden recommended to House Democrats in a closed-door session last week.
He seems to always cave in the end.
If he does he should never be re-elected. Caves are where the COVID began, and let’s see if Manchin has bat wings or an American spine. He currently has a net worth of about $5 Million with a salary of $174K. If he retires with a net worth of tens of millions you just got to know it came from the Trillion dollar bill be approves, just like the others but more due to his self-created leverage. Follow the money. Do not believe them when they say it will cost nothing,,,,unless nothing is the new Democrat definition word for graft.
You expect that he CARES?? THE LEFT fraud machine will likely ensure he wins any future election in W/Va..
OH! JOE Manchin, ” All Show AND NO GO! ” JOE MANCHIN can always Act asif he was ho?ding the line on his principles but alast, he has turned out to be Just another democrat politician, and thus with no principles.
AS many of us predicted he’d do.. YET AGAIN Manchin proves, he’s all bark, no bite.
I was going to call Democrat, Joe Manchin, a democrat , “RINO ” But he never voted with the Republicans as the Republican ” Rinos” have some times voted with the democrats, Democrats call him a moderate , I would call him something else !
I am not allowed to say, what i’d call him!!
what a punk this fool is.
my guess is the dnc has dirt on him.
Joe Manchin reminds me of Thr Little Boy who was watching a Herd of Sheep who got borded one day and so he yelled “Wolf ” and the people came a running, Later on, the boy bcame Bored again so he cried ” WOLF ” but this time a real ” Wolf Appeared but no body came.Joe Manchin is always Crying “Wolf ” but he always Cries” Wolf , ” Doesn’ t he.
But he was right “an entitlement mentality” by the 13%. He should have stood his ground.
