---A few hours before Republicans secured the votes they needed to advance a tax-cut bill to the Senate floor, Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) gathered more than a dozen Democratic colleagues to explain why none of them could vote yes. Manchin, who has voted with the Trump administration more than any other Democrat in Congress, described a repetitive drama that had played out for months. He’d sit for productive conversations with the Trump administration, then watch as none of his ideas appeared in the Republican product.

“No tax breaks for the rich? I said that’s great,” Manchin said. “Helping the middle class, working class? That’s great. That’s not what we’re seeing.”

Tuesday’s Democratic drama, from party leaders snubbing the White House to activists shouting and jeering at Senate Budget Committee members, did not slow down the tax bill. It also emphasized just how little pressure vulnerable Democrats felt to back the GOP’s ever-morphing product. Republicans, who started the 2018 midterm cycle optimistic about unseating many of the 10 Democrats whose states went for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, appear headed for a partisan shutout.---
