Senator Joe Manchin swiftly denied a report he is considering leaving the Democratic party.
Mother Jones reported Wednesday Manchin has been talking to associates about leaving the party, which set off a whirlwind of political speculation — and skepticism.
Manchin was asked by reporters about this and said rather bluntly, “I can’t control rumors, and it’s bullshit. Bullshit spelled with a B-U-L-L, capital B!”
Joe needs to go.
Why should he switch. Republicans keep him in office.
There ya go.
Not smart, Mother Jones! (No surprise either).
He was at odds with the Democrats; now he will be trying to prove he is a good Democrat and support their Socialist agenda.
Shame. We were close.
I expect him and Sinema to fold at the end. The amount doesn’t matter, it is what is in it. Socialism 100%.

You’re wrong. Manchin isn’t budging. They’ve already took out IRS bank account snooping, free community college and will leave fossil fuels alone for now.
Manchin is a great American.
And vehemently so.
That is your opinion. He is a Democrat.
He’ll have the Democratic Nomination in his pocket if he holds his line. They’ll realize that he’s the only candidate that could beat President Trump.
If he switched, he’d be a RINO. Don’t want him.
Manchin wants to run for president. He’s convinced himself he has to be a democrat to do it.
+1
He owns the Democrats right now and knows it. He is many thing but an idiot is not one of them
Nope
He owns the Democrats right now. His power base is blue collar West Virginia which is a LOT of coal miners.
He will agree to something in the end but it going to be a lot less then the Marxist wing of the Democrats wanted
It makes no sense to leave a party where he alone control the deciding vote to join the party with 4-5 other squish “moderates”
If he and Sinema had any brains what-so-ever, they go “I” and carry a huge amount of power.
Whats that called when a person like to be abused?
They like to be abused.
Settle down, Joe. We get it: you’re a Democrat and proud of it.
