Proposed solution: Ignore Manchin. Focus attacks on issues (e.g. amnesty, union payoff, revival of welfare, ballot harvesting).

Why do I feel Sen. Manchin's role is to give Republicans false hope–then when he caves it will be too late for GOP to stop Schumer from ramming his agenda thru via reconciliation? https://t.co/CPbItAk5Ar
