Democrat Senator Thinks It’s Time To Jump Ship- Considering Switching Parties

Being from West Virginia, Rep. Manchin has had to push back against the coastal Democratic machine from time to time, but this round, the Dems may have gone too far and might be losing one of their Representatives to the Republican side.

We’ve already seen that the Governor of West Virginia, Jim Justice, was willing to switch to the Republican side of the aisle, making his announcement at a Trump rally.

Now, it’s looking like Rep. Joe Manchin might do the same. Democrats have already lost the state, both in terms of their wide support for Trump and the loss of the Governorship to the Republicans.

Governor Justice has now endorsed Rep. Manchin for re-election in 2018. And with a Senate vote next week that might overturn ObamaCare, Joe will be put to the test. If Rep. Manchin added his vote to pass the Graham-Cassidy bill, he would instantly be lauded for his work in bringing that bit of Republican-promised legislation closer to the President’s desk for approval.

I can honestly say I saw this coming.

Taqiyya

[DoodleDawg]

Wishful thinking.

Even Switch McCain for Joe

The Governor just switched

Come on over Joe

[xenia]

So, we’ll have another democrat in the Republican Party. This is good?

[Thibodeaux]

A blind man could see this coming.

Will he do it early next week?

[NorthMountain]

Munchkin is still a worthless POS. I fart in his general direction.

Pat Morrisey for Senate!!!

[Onelifetogive]

There is a Senator Joe Manchin. Are they related?

[Moonman62]

I’d like to see some of the GOPe leave the dark side.

Mc Connell show you have a set of Balls give him Juan’s Chairmanship

[NorthMountain]

It's not good. Manchin was an 0bama lickspittle.

Pat Morrisey for Senate!!!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Apparently not a dime’s worth of difference...

[DoughtyOne]

As long as he “gets” Conservatism, fine.

We don’t need anymore McCains or Olympia Snows.

[WeWaWes]

May as well trade them McCain for this guy.

[Ted Grant]

Depends how he ends up voting day to day, of course. But I’ll take it.

He’s probably a creature of self-preservation, and figures he needs to switch to stay in office. Not a good quality.

[wiseprince]

Lisa Marie, Collins McPuke and Rand “What’s winning” Paul are no votes...if you can pull one of them or do a pay off to a Dem Senator from ND by uping there budget for HC (taking it out of Maine and Alaska of course) then maybe Manchin could be the new hero. Mitch doesn’t know how to get things done though so it’s probably dead anyways

[NorthMountain]

Governor Justice has now endorsed Rep. Manchin for re-election in 2018.

Well, there's a shocker. Jim "Justice" is another fake "republican". Ran as a demonicRAT, totally in bed with Big Labor, has a big government solution to every perceived problem. These people are not to be trusted.

Instead:

Pat Morrisey for Senate

[Jolla]

So, we’ll have another democrat in the Republican Party. This is good?

President Reagan - Ronaldo Maximus was.

OK. What are your reasons.

Besides two words :)

There are precedents The dems have gone HARD LEFT.

Get rid of the pessimism. It’s been proven unhealthy :)

I am optimistic he will switch.
