Since Manchin is TO THE LEFT of every RINO in the Senate, I’ll be happy to see him gone and replaced by a Republican, RINO or not.
(I realize the ‘purists’ here are happier with a Democrat in that seat than a RINO, but I’m not a ‘purist’).
Manchin voted to impeach Trump twice. Manchin couldn’t get dog catcher in West Virginia. He has a tiny chance if he switched to Republican, but I believe he is toast!
Translation: he’s not running.
There are a number of currently Democrat-held Senate seats which we have a good chance to flip in 2024, our inability to overcome voter fraud notwithstanding:
AZ - Sinema
MI - Stabenow (retiring)
MT - Tester
NV - Rosen
PA - Casey
VA - Kaine
WV - Manchin
WI - Baldwin
Don’t worry! FOX and Hannity will move heaven and earth to prop up Manchin. We’ll be lucky if McConnell doesn’t fund him from the Republican Senate Campaign.
Manchin is a fraud. I don’t know anything about Justice.
Honestly this guy knows who voted for him, it was the government employees and Union employees of the coal and steel industry in West Virginia. Most of them are Hillbillies Ridge Runners or whatever you want to call him that love guns hunting and fishing. They’re all big drinkers and bluegrass foot stopping Mad Men.
If he only stuck to his base, that would be one thing but he loves the Democrat Party more than he loves his voters. Being a Democrat is a badge of honor, and identity, his religion.
