Or he got his payoff. Manchin is always in it for the payoff.

They FLIPPED him. By saying he was running, that INSTANTLY opens up the race for the nomination. Obviously the Democrats do not want that to happen, at least not yet.

Isn’t it considered good etiquette to decline what you so ardently want in the political world?

Bwahahaha.......he doesn’t need that in his life. That will be the response from any sane potential Pres or VP. Expect anyone who agrees to be VP or President to be mentally ill, intellectually deficient or a ruthless psychopath— no one else will take the job(s).

“They” are clearing the field for Kamala to be nominated next month. In other words, the Dems are busily building their own funeral pyre.

He is a minor league commie and would not trade his mother’s life for bad legislation, therefore he is not a qualified Democrat leader(see Xi, Mao, Stalin).

“Or he got his payoff.”

*************

The most likely explanation IMO. Make some noise and get paid for it. Easy money.

The far left “media” was floating Munchkin balloons all day yesterday. I guess nothing would stick. They’re stuck with Viagra Harris now. They can embrace the suck.

Just a few short months ago...

“Sen. Joe Manchin says he ‘absolutely’ would consider a presidential run”

Must have gotten one of those midnight calls....
