Manchin sits with Republicans during State of the Union

Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, opted to sit on the Republicans' side of the House chamber during President Biden's first State of the Union address.
end quote

We already knew why Manchin was determined to defeat Biden's Agenda... He's been beholding to the money angle of greed that is a Republican Devotion, and anything that can and will help the people and give the people voice to challenge the "greed gouging done by the wealthy" Manchin will always contort and play spin games but continue to default to backing Republican Ideology on anything concerning his personal money stream and he detest anything that will help American Families or the Big Picture Advancement of America.
 
He takes bi-partisanship very seriously. Even to the point of jettisoning his own bill.
 
Republicans are the Big Tent party, unlike the intolerant Democrat zealots

lol! They censure their members and strip them of committee assignments for not showing fealty to one man.

Yeah, but as long as he nominally stays in the party, we control the committee chairs.

And if he changes sides on paper, he's just another senator, instead of being basically a kingmaker.

It's a stable situation that has no surprises for anyone.
 
I heard the point was to sit next to Mitt Romney, who according to most right wing Republicans is about the biggest RINO there is. It appears to be a statement in favor partisan moderation rather than a defection.

Bi-partisanship is a lie and excuse he uses for cover for voting against Democrats. He hides behind the phrase.

They're both 'brand building' trying to 'look moderate'. Notice Romney didn't sit with him on the Democratic side.
 
Good for Manchin, more members of congress should shed the party line politics that create deadlock in DC
 
And why is no one surprised?

He was probably afraid Cortez or Tlaib would try to put a knife in his guts. It's happened more than once in the House of Representatives.

Both Romney and Manchin are men with a conscience unlike most on either side of the aisle. Politicians? Yes, but patriots who refuse to be controlled by either party platform or poisonous ideologues. They are men with balls unlike Joe Biden who is controlled by both of the aforementioned.
 
You don't see it now, but Joe Manchin is saving America from the demented puppet.

Demented puppet with a 37% approval rating must have his agenda stopped and all nominations rejected.

Saying it doesn’t make it so.

The GOP is as diverse as pre 1990 Augusta National.

I agree, Republicans need to be let off the chain so they can vote for bills put forth by Democrats.

Insult Trump get called RINO

Dare to question the Big Lie-loose job

The circus tent is shrinking

If they are good bills they should if they are bad bills then Democrats need to stand up and say no.

Since when is diversity a credential synonymous with success? We’re seeing a world teetering on the edge of war. Nuclear war, potentially. How has the diversity of this administration been of any benefit? We don’t need diversity right now. We need peace.
 
I'm sure Cheney feels it...

Cheney is her daddy's little girl - she's not against Trump for any principled reasons, she's against Trump for the same reasons the Bush family are against Trump.
She's putting family over party and ideology
 
I don't care where he sits. He helped to sink voting rights.

Voting rights? You mean preserving Voter ID is a violation of someone's rights?
Preventing ballot-harvesting is a violation of someone's rights/
