UK Daily Mail ^ | September 24 2024 | Jon Michael Raasch

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin will not be endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

The development comes after Harris endorsed the idea of removing the Senate's filibuster to pass pro-abortion laws.

'Shame on her,' Manchin said. 'She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It's the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids.'

Joe, endorse Trump and the GOP in your state. That would show people you can think and do the right thing.

History indicates how Manchin’s loyalties will finally play out.

She vowed to blow the filibuster?

That sounds a lot like Madonna’s promise to blow anybody who voted for Hillary Clinton.

She wants a “Dictatorship Of The Proletariat” just like the Mother Land she comes from. Where the minority has no voice much less civil rights.

“The development comes after Harris endorsed the idea of removing the Senate’s filibuster to pass pro-abortion laws.”

I expect the media to quickly shout, Harris is a threat to democracy.

He decided not to run. He wasn’t even going to win his primary.

No. He retired because he knows full well we'd throw his sorry ass out this time if he did. He barely won (with less than a majority) last time ...

The rats are running a no-name.

The R's are running current Governor Jim Justice (and Baby Dog).

Nothing is for certain, but expect we'll send the governor off to the Senate.

Didn’t Manchin say something about running for Governor again, now that Justice is moving on?

Not that I’m aware of. He’s not the current ‘rat candidate for Gov. What he does in the future I can’t predict. He’ll be 81 in the next election ... his best bet would be retiring to a mountain top somewhere and hoping nobody comes looking for him.

Don't let that picket up Manchin's ass fool you. He's his own (bought) man.

I strongly caution my colleagues as some propose to alter the rules to severely limit the ability of a minority to conduct a filibuster. I know what it is to be Majority Leader, and wake up on a Wednesday morning in November, and find yourself a Minority Leader....Sen. Robert Byrd, May 19, 2010... source

Ain't no way Manchin's gonna buck the memory of uncle Bob.
