Manchin calls Reid’s statement on Trump “an absolute embarrassment”

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is blasting his party’s outgoing Senate leader Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) after Reid released a statement that Manchin says verbally attacked President-Elect Donald Trump. In Reid’s statement, he called Trump a “sexual predator” and suggested Trump to “roll back the tide of hate he unleashed.” On Friday, Manchin responded to Reid’s statement: “Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation. I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me,” Manchin said in a news release.

Trump got 68% of the vote in WV and won every county. Machin should switch parties and vote with Trump or he should quit.

Regardless of which Republican candidate had been elected, reid would have treated that president-elect the same. This is genuine reid revealing his true substance.

Now, now. Let’s be fair.

Trump was a democrat once too.

Some people do really see the light.

Joe is up for re-election in 2018.
He knows WV went for Trump so he is trying to make nice with the new administration.

Manchin shouldn’t be welcome in the republican party.
Turncoats can’t be trusted.

People know the name, and the media keeps any real scandal from ever getting out.

On the other hand, the Trump success may encourage more earth scorching in the future. It appears to be worth it.

It won’t help in 2018. Joe firmly grabbed the third rail of politics, gun control, as a newly elected senator. He’s dead to WV.

I read that Manchin was considering caucusing with the GOP.

I know people that know Manchin, the shared comment on him is ‘Manchin is for Manchin’. Most of them think he’s done politically.

You betcha. You know, that’s fine. He’ll be a better Republican Senator that Graham or Flake.
