Manchin is an actor, and a poor one, one strongly suspects.
Manchin would have the good people of WV believe that he's a centrist (or even a "moderate" GOPer) reluctantly wearing liberals' clothes.
One suspects that all of his hand-wringing protestations are pre-approved by the Senate Dems, who laugh at those who want him to be centrist more than they want to look at his history.
Manchin.
A test for fools.
Manchin’s gonna run for president as an independent anyway.
