Oft times, Manchin’s bark is worse (and a lot louder) than his long belated bites, so jury remains out on this hypothesis.
It’ll be popcorn time if/when RFJ, Jr., finally files his papers. He’ll give Biden a run for his money, I think. It could be interesting.
Nonsense. He is “Looking” for something from his fellow Democrats to “Keep”
him from running 3rd party.
In time, that “something” will be revealed.
If Manchin runs as a third-party candidate, he’s likely to draw a lot of the never-Trumper RINO crowd. He could hurt either Trump or DeSantis far more than Biden.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Nonsense fantasizing by mediocre right-wing bloggers with no sources, sort of on the level of MSNBC anchors speculating about how Melania is mad at Trump.
Sounds too good to be true. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I remember the Ross Perot election. He might have won, but I heard Hillary sent him a full set of “Dead Kennedys” albums just as a gift of course.
he tried to put protection in place and rejoin the race, but it was too late.
Joe is an idiot. Why else would he be a dem? Maybe he can do for O’Biden what Ross Perot did for the Clintons!
No way.
He will just take a payoff (a la Bernie Sanders).
IMO
Thus guy is a joke. He got played by the dimocraps like a bad fiddle to the detriment of West Virginia.
Wouldn’t this insure Biden’s reelection? Manchin isn’t going to get democrat votes he might even cost the Republicans West Virginia.
Manchin would certainly attract a lot of D voters who are disgusted or just screwed by the current D regime
But a return to a more normal political stance for the DemoCommieNazi party would seem
Unlikely. There’s just too
Much money behind the dnc and it’s current anti- American, destructive policies.
Just do it!
He wouldn’t win, but he should do it. He can pick Romney as his VP to push for moderate “bi-partisanship”. Between the two of them they might pick up 3 or 4 electoral votes. I can’t think of from where, but odds are with them that they would pick up a handful.
I doubt the Democrats let him run 3rd party, and will find a way to prevent him if he does try.
BUT, if he did run and it was a competitive 3 way race, then the candidate with the HIGH-INTENSITY support wins. And that’s because it’s not possibly to effectively run a negative campaign against 2 opponents. Bush Sr. learned that the hard way.
So if Trump is in the race, he wins, not even close. If not, it will have to be some other Republican starting from scratch...may still win, but nothing would be assured.
This is what happened in 1940. Businessmen drafted a life-long Democrat in Wendell Wilkie to run for the GOP against FDR.
Manchin is a fraud. He’s basically a sentient version of Biden.
He could be putting out false rumors to make himself seem more independent from the Democrats than he really is. Then he will just run for reelection to the Senate.
