22. Manchin doesn't get it, he would be punished for going too small

not too big. Even the Repub gov of the state said he wanted a big package. Manchin has been hanging around Mitch and Susan too long. He doesn't seem to get that all the Repubs want to do is water down and obstruct like they did during the Obama years. We're in an emergency, it's not time for austerity, which the Repubs only want so they can 'make Biden a one term president' like they tried to do to Obama. F that noise.

Biden clearly sent Kamala in to AZ and WV to light a fire under the asses of these conservative Dems and to build support for a big relief package. It was Biden sending the message that he's in charge and is not going to be obstructed by some silly 'gang of bipartisans' like in the Obama era.
