Manchin to join No Labels’ NH town hall amid third-party speculation
The Hill ^ | 07/14/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

No Labels, an organization advocating for a third-party candidate, announced that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will be joining its New Hampshire town hall as speculation grows over whether the senator will make a third-party bid for the White House.

Amid polling showing a potential rematch between President Biden and former President Trump, No Labels has been pushing to create a separate “unity ticket” as a third option for voters in 2024.

In a 3-party race, the candidate who has the STRONGEST support, as in whether his followers are willing to walk on glass for him. Without a doubt, that puts Trump in the driver’s seat.

Also it will be nice for Manchin to give up his Senate seat as the Republicans in a state that is PLUS 40 Republican, cannot seem to find anyone capable of beating him.

People argue about that to this day.

Did Perot drain enough votes away from George HW Bush, so that Clinton won the election because of that?

Clinton got 43 percent, Bush got 38 percent, and Perot got 19 percent.

if 68% of Perot voters would have voted for Bush, then Bush would have won reelection. Some people say while a majority of Perot voters would have voted for Bush, if Perot had not been on the ballot, that nowhere near 68% would have voted Bush. Which would have meant Clinton wins anyway in a 2 man race.

Besides, Bush and Clinton were two sides of the same coin anyway.

I also think that maybe the third time could be the charm, here, which is likely why Manchin is looking at other careers, but I’m just relaying how the Republicans manage to SCREW UP what should be their most secure Senate seat.

I don't see the lane for Manchin.

Liberals want a real liberal, not Manchin.

Conservatives want somebody more conservative than Manchin.

Manchin will get some die-hard Robert Byrd voters, but who else?

Clinton has no chance of winning in a 2 man race. The same reason Trump won in 2016, if 35% are given the chance to step outside the 2 parties, with a canidate who is not a moonbat, they will.

Centrist running as a 3rd party without a crazy moment almost assure any GOP canidate wins in 2024. Without an Obama tickle running up ones leg, democrats are not bothering to show up for old joe in 2024. He lost the dorm room turnout flubbing the student loan and abortion causes.

Unfortunately, Reagan gave us Bush. It should’ve been Paul Laxalt or John Connally.

Joe is an obedient Dem, a poor actor, and I view him as a likely Perot II to take disaffected (Trump weary) GOP votes away from the GOP and hand the Dems a victory in the most crucial election we've ever had.

Had Reagan listened to his wife, he would have selected Laxalt. Given the games in Nevada, Laxalt may well have come ‘investigation’ about September 1980...for something. Good to see you are still active Field Marshall.

They don’t have to show up anymore. They don’t even have to fill out their own ballots.
