Coons to Deploy His Patented Bipartisan Savoir Faire on Manchin & Sinema – We are Fucked
Biden’s “Build Back Better” has been trimmed to the bone in part because Coons signaled a willingness to give up half of the projected $400 billion plan prior to day one.
Now, with Senate action scheduled in the coming weeks Machine and Sinema are threatening additional cuts. But don’t worry. This WaPO article is here to let you know that Chris Coon is on it.
“Relationships, understanding where another senator is coming from and being respectful of their frame and their concerns is the best way to be persuasive with any senator,” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.)
So Coons tells Manchin: “Joe, I understand your concerns and you’ve made some good points, and I realize that coal miners in your state just don’t have the resources to pay taxes like my banker and pharma friends in Delaware. So, will you vote for Build Back Better if I can work with my buddies to trim another trillion or so out of the package? We’ll be grateful for your support.”
