"was sidetracked after moderates demanded a cost estimate on the sprawling measure from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office"
By cracky, I think you're right! Sounds like corporate messaging to me. It is nonsense to think that the "cost" as scored by the CBO would be a controlling factor here.
I hope it's something like that. Trump and Flynn withstood their onslaught through their strong faith in God and the conviction that their cuase is just. I don't know how strong Manchin is with these. So hopefully they do have stronger strings on him than the DS.
Except that’s not how things happened.
They “compromised” while pulling political theater tricks to “wait for the budget office to issue a report on the costs.”
They’re going to pass both.
Thats all official excuses to keep the base expecting.
Not without Manchin's co-operation in Senate, and now with this bill passing there is no pressure on him.
It already passed the procedural vote in the house. Manchin is already complaining about the “hostile work environment of the Senate.” He’ll use that excuse to pass the BBB.
We will wait and see, shall we ? ;)
No other choice.
But this isn’t looking good. And as a twenty-something, I don’t want to live in this dystopian nightmare.
Operation Trust better not be reality, but it’s feeling that way more and more every day.

Yeah entities like CBOs are always cover to get what they all agreed in backrooms, always has been.
I'm nervous about the welfare of the country hanging on Manchin. I don't know if he can hold against the tremendous onslaught the left will give him.
I dont think he is holding out from the goodness of his heart.
Do you think Trump would have allowed the two extra Senate seats to be stolen in fraud if he did not have another way to control Senate?
