As exciting as a Christie/Haley ticket!
He’s apparently not polling well in West Virginia against Jim Justice. But his odds for the presidency seem pretty slim, too.
So he makes everybody put off everything and bite their nails
until he makes the historic announcement. Meanie.
Neither side trust him. He has a snowballs chance in hell.
Yawn
I gave a timeline once.
I doubt very many power couples in politics can match them.
Manchin is nothing more than a stick-your-finger-in-the-wind attention whore. He can go pound sand.
Solid lefty Democrat- pretending (clumsily) to be independent - Manchin was planning to run from the get-go, one highly suspects.
My guess is that his assignment is to perform the full-Perot, providing disaffected GOP voters an alternative to Trump toward a certain electoral college loser, Manchin.
End result? Dems win and that pesky "DEMOCRACY" thingy is conned again.
Solid lefty Dem, Manchin, has been planning the run for a long time, by all outward appearances. How many fools can he fool? You might be surprised.
So 1860 all over
1860 Southern Democrats John Breckenridge from KY (That is Biden)
1860 Northern Democrats Stephen Douglas from IL (That is RFK Jr)
1860 Republicans Abe Lincoln from IL (That is Trump)
1860 Constitutional Unionist party John Bell from TN (That will be Machin)
If he decides to run for President, he’d be invited to a punch party by sr Democrat party members. He knows this, so he’s just trying to get more donations.
Wouldn't that be a fourth-party run if Kennedy already claimed the third-party run??
It’s dog track time for Manchin.
He is just attention seeking, probably already decided.
1860 Southern Democrats John Breckenridge from KY (That is Biden)
1860 Northern Democrats Stephen Douglas from IL (That is RFK Jr)
1860 Republicans Abe Lincoln from IL (That is Trump)
1860 Constitutional Unionist party John Bell from TN (That will be Machin)
*****************
As a Trump “through hell & high water” supporter, I like the way you think.
Good scenario.👍
If he ran who would he hurt more?
He doesn’t have much to lose, he sees how red West Virginia has become in the last few years and knows he would lose reelection if he ran for the Senate in 2024. So at least this gives him a way to possibly leverage a VP or cabinet spot.
He can’t win reelection against Justice in West Virginia, he won’t do anything as 3rd party.
