As if the Trump campaign doesn't have other things on their plate to occupy their time.
IN WV the rumor is Manchin will be trying to get the WVU Prez gig.
Manchin for VP? Now I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.
From the article: “ Despite his party change, Manchin will continue to caucus with Senate Democrats, his office said.”
In other words, Manchin is still a Democrat.
They are the Democrat Party.
There is nothing democratic about it.
Yep, more typical Manchin “window dressing”. Lipstick on a pig in fancy dress! Good enough to fool Susan Collins!
Doesn’t take much to fool Collins.
Correct! Manchin cannot be trusted.
He puts his left foot in, he puts his left foot out, he puts his left foot in and he shakes it all about...
The man certainly is a hokey pokey.
And, yes, Bunch Lucket Joe is “... still a Democrat.”
There are lots of Dems who run as Independents. But they still vote with the Dems.
Who is he trying to fool and for what purpose?
He should just stay in the place he has wallowed out for himself.
You can’t expect Nikki to be on the National Union party ticket all by her lonesome. (see 1864 for those who missed the reference).
I know people that know Manchin. He’s been wanting to run for Prez for some time. He doesn’t want to accept his time if he ever had one has come and gone. Another WV view is he’s trying to run for his Senate seat via the local very leftist 3rd party the Mountain Party. All he will do is make the Rat nominee loser by a greater amount. I guess the Rat nominee could drop out. It still wouldn’t make any difference. Manchin has the Rat nominee still polled poorly against the GOP nominee Gov Justice.
Wow, he’s so brave. He must be standing on his principles. He can’t take it anymore! Doing this toward the end of his last term. /S This is how dumb they think you are.
Too little, too late.
Just posturing.
I wouldn’t trust him any farther than I could throw a train car full of his coal.
Who cares?
He did this to run for Senate or Gov as Indy in WVa and split GOP vote and elect a Dem.
How will this affect the balance of power in the Senate?
He is an attention addict.
Manchin for years pretended to be a moderate for election purposes. 90% of the time he voted as a liberal democrat. He is a liberal democrat. West Virginia finally woke up and decided he is to be no more. That is why he is not running for re-election. He knows he will lose.
