Doesn’t matter though, her past behavior shows she’ll stick with other Rs and vote no on anything and everything.

If she was serious, they’d abandon Manchin (or Sinema), because he’s not needed. (They can’t alter the filibuster until they have 50 guaranteed to vote for it).

She’ll have NO problem voting against her own bill. None.

To determine her past behavior, look at her votes. She was the only Republican to vote to open debate on voting rights. Did she vote to impeach Trump?

She has a much longer history of voting against. Many, many votes. And many of those were blatantly against the people, similar to voting rights.

She was right to vote as she did in your examples, and good for her, but those were only a two (or even a few) and one must also note that those were "safe" votes.

I would say she's one of the good republicans - the ones that believe in bipartisanship, etc and truly believe in democracy - but her votes just this year alone are in lock-step with those that wish to end our current form of government, and so I can't say that. That cannot be said of any current R. Senator.
