I had respect for you while standing on some principal, butt you caved. Betting that more of a moderate, walking a fence has a chance. All I can say is walking a slippery fence is a good way to rack your nuts.
The good part is WV should pick up a GOP seat next year.
Trump is a moderate though . Protecting the border and stopping illegal aliens isn’t a far right view opinion. Even democrats used to run on that (they didn’t mean it , but they did run on it)
He’s nobody’s prom queen. Dems don’t like him, Republicans don’t either.
And he hasn’t the telegenetics, never mind telekinesis.
Senators make poor Presidents.
You’re going to have the GOP nominee, Biden, Kennedy, Manchin, Stein, West, a Libertarian, someone from the Constitution Party, America’s Party, and who knows who else.
I say let them all run.
No, Manchin doesn’t have those big ears, that accent, or that easily imitatable voice.
Go ahead, Joe. Nimarata can be your running mate.
(Reliable Democrat, no matter what he pretends) Manchin is the new Ross Perot.
The idea is to take GOP voters disaffected from Mister Trump, and ensure a Dem win, I would wager.
Many fine folks hereabouts somehow think that the Dem voters would go for Manchin as well. Talk to them. They fear Trump more than anything, they'll vote Dem. And obediently so.
“we will lose democracy as we know it.”
This has become the official buzz phrase of the left. I hear it 5 times a day, lately.
Whatever it is that is “as we know it”, is a long ways from the Constitutional Republic, or Representative Republic we once were, and should be.
I think they really mean democracy, and that’s a bad idea.
If he wants to run he better make up his mind, it’s already too late to file in Arkansas and Alabama. More deadlines coming up soon.
So much for, respecting him for finally doing the right thing.
Who asked him?
Manchin the Gadfly
