In a recent Politico article spotlighting the moderate West Virginia Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin shared one characteristic of the Trump administration he has already come to appreciate.
“I’ve had more personal time with Trump in two months than I had with Obama in eight years,” he said.

Has he switched parties yet?
I thought this was another article about Trump’s phone being tapped.
Anyone know the over/under on Manchin switching to R by next year?
Let’s trade the dems - Manchin for McCain and a player to be named later.
Yea, something like by 42% !
I do hope Manchin changes parties...we could use him...
Joe Manchin is in the wrong party! Maybe, Manchin’s parents were Democrat and he doesn’t want to break their hearts and that could be Manchin’s reason for not switching parties.
That is because Trump is not afraid of people.
Trump likes to engage.
Trump likes to find solutions.
Trump likes to build things.
Trump likes to fix things.
Trump likes people.
I agree, Manchin needs to come over to our side. He comes from a red state anyway.
C’mon Joe, make the move.
What? Wasn’t invited to play golf? That’s the only place for “FaceTime” with Obama over the last eight years. I’ll bet he hasn’t touched his clubs since...
Plus the phones are tapped!!
I think I heard Elijah Cummings is going to meet with Trump. Others may disagree, but I don’t think Trump is afraid of anyone and willing to listen even if he dislikes and disagrees with them. That is why I think he hasn’t denounced Putin like the left wants him to. I think he knows he will have to negotiate with him at some point and is trying to be in the best position he can be in to represent our country.
More winning.
They can have senile McCain and Lynne Graham both — I’ll go 2 for 1 on them with those...
I’d take him but he’d make a RINO worse than McCain (who is at worst the 3rd worst Senate RINO).
If he doesn’t switch (doubt he will) he needs to be defeated.
1. ⏹ Run for West Virginia Senator in 2018 as a Republican.
2. ⏹ Retire.
I see Manchin may draw a challenger from the left, the ex-U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. Curiously, Manchin appointed Goodwin’s cousin, Carte, to Byrd’s Senate vacancy to serve as a seatwarmer until Manchin could assume it.
Progtard mental defectives are eager to primary Manchin (especially), Heitkamp, and anyone who isn’t an orthodox Marxist. :-D
