Thursday on FNC’s “Special Report,” outgoing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) addressed speculation he would seek the White House as a third-party candidate in 2024.
The West Virginia Democrat gave low marks to the two parties’ frontrunners, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
He told FNC host Bret Baier he had little confidence in either and warned of consequences if Trump were to win a second term.
“Well, first of all, we don’t know on Super Tuesday who the two candidates may be on the Democrat and Republican side,” Manchin said. “But right now, I guess all odds are they will be Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And I’m as honest as I can be with you, Bret. I believe that Donald Trump being elected again would destroy democracy as we know it. I — I’m concerned. I’m very scared because he’s already said what he would do. He’s going to use the power of the office for revenge. He’s going to basically — he doesn’t believe that — the only election — what he believes is, the only fair election is the one he won. And he doesn’t believe in the rule of law, to where the law only pertains to everybody but him.”
“It’s a horrible situation,” he continued. “And I just — I’m scared of that. That would destroy our country as I know it. And Joe Biden is not the person when he came there saying, I know how it works, I can bring the country together, I’m a centrist. Well, he’s pulled clear far to the left. So, let’s see what happens. Will anybody change? I don’t know. Will the rhetoric change? But if we don’t mobilize the moderate, sensible, what — we’re going to call them the radical middle, OK, the radical middle.

Well, actually, as I have seen posted here so many times before, the USA is not a democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic.
More importantly, what they (Manchin, et al) are worried about is the end of business as usual and being exposed as the grifters, thieves, murders, rapists and pedophiles that they are behind closed doors.
Shouldn’t they be required to light their hair on fire before they make these ridiculous statements?
Good. Maybe we can be a Constitutional Republic again.
Directly from the DemocRat playbook.
He never was a moderate.
I seem to recall a very applicable saying, something about a leopard and some spots...
He may think that. But old white males need not apply!
I predict Gruesome’s VP will be one that will check the diversity boxes. My best guess is Buttgiggily! (Hy else was he in Ukraine?) Other possible contenders for VP - Whitler from Michigan, “Spartacus” Cory Booker from Jersey maybe a Hispanic!
typo
Hy = Why
“...Destroy Democracy as We Know It...”
When he says “democracy”, he is referring to the Deep State running and controlling the federal government, into perpetuity.
So yes, Trump is going to destroy the Deep State. They know it and we know it, they know we know they know.
The hang man is going to be very, very busy in 2025. /spit
It’s unlikely the dems will ever have another ticket with two white guys, ever.
For Trump to drain the swamp, he will have to announce a huge reduction in force of every government agency of at least 50%. Beginning with the most senior bureaucrats first.
You nailed it.
What does he call what we’re dealing with right now??
CORRECTION: Donald Trump being elected again would destroy
BIDEN’S GHASTLY democracy that he has inflicted on America.
There’s that phrase, again.
It must have been on the White House list of talking points they demand the fake news use every evening.
No less than 15 different posters on X used the exact phrase in the past two days.
Manchin is a dimwit, who votes once or twice a year with the GOP he is on his last leg and the country will do just fine with Trump
They have something on everyone who works for the Globalist Elite.
It might be video of them with an underage prostitute, or it might be their Bitcoin account number into which they make regular, large deposits.
So says the fence rider...the Bureau of Land Management could use a guy like him.
