Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is warning that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will have to “moderate” if he continues to maintain his frontrunner status in the Democrat primary, the West Virginia lawmaker emphasizing that he is “not going socialist.”
Sanders’ successes in both Iowa and New Hampshire, combined with Joe Biden’s (D) poor performances, have several lawmakers increasingly considering the possibility of Vermont’s socialist senator winning the Democrat nomination.

Manchin is a weather vane.
This is complete horse manure. A Marxist who praised soviet Russia cannot moderate; he can only lie. If Bernie wins, I consider a second and larger civil war to be the least terrible of the possible outcomes - Bernie deciding to be a moderate is not a realistic option.
Don’t worry, Bloomie will buy him up.
So, if Bernie lies and says he’s “moderating” his views and won’t do all those socialist things, you’ll believe him and vote for him?
I don’t think Bernie will do that. His “I yam what I yam” stand is his hallmark, not something to be tossed away to fool the Great Middle.
No one would believe it anyway.
There are similarities between Bernie and Trump, not in policy of course, but in their destructive nature toward the established parties.
Joe’s just saying, “Come and get me, Bloomie!”
The Democrats helped create this Frankencommie and now, just like in the movie, it’s coming up off the table after them.
So basically he’s telling Bernie he needs to be a TRUE democrat - lie about your position so you can be electable, then you can implement your true policies.
These people are evil.
Exactly, nobody in their right mind would believe anything Manchin says.
I think he talks out of the middle of his ass - ass HOLE - to be precise; it’s the only orifice from which his voice can escape. I wonder how West Virginians feel about his vote on impeachment...
The good people of West Virginia need to get rid of this clown Manchin.
Joe had his chance with impeachment, he is a full fledge Bolshie now.
Joe Manchin does on occasion, have moments of lucidity. In fact until recently he was the only Democrat I could listen to on TV without projectile vomiting. But after his vote in the Stalinist trial of President Trump? I’d sooner listed to a commercial.
Yeah, I guess you’re that ignorant/deceptive, Joe. I really like all of the position papers you’ve written on current socialism in the republic. /PUKE
In other words, don’t change your ideas, just change your rhetoric.
Lie about your motives and your goals. Like a good Democrat.
Well Pete Buttplug is in the race after all. With Amy they can make it a three way.
In other words, if Bernie becomes the Rat Nominee he had better start lying about what he intended to do if Elected.
There is no “moderating” his communism to socialism, as if there is much difference.
Democrats only lie about their politics to get elected but they never change their core values. They are criminals and socialists of one stripe or another and never change their stripes.
Manchin should go outside of Charleston and go handle some poisonous snakes at one of those churches. It’ll be ok since he will just tell the snakes not to be poisonous before handling them.
So you will support him if he just lies about his communism, have I got that right? Sanders is what he is, period. Moderating his platform does nothing to change the man and how he will govern when elected. This just proves that Joe Manchin i a total idiot.
You already did by voting for impeachment
