U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s position as a moderate Democrat in the red state of West Virginia has propped him up to be a powerful man in Washington these days.
Even though Manchin has signaled support with Republicans on several issues, the Biden administration is wooing him in order to push progressive ticket items in its economic stimulus package.
Yet, West Virginians are holding out hope that the senator stands firm on opposing items that could be detrimental to some of the state’s most important industries and small businesses.

He tries to present himself as reasonable, but always folds.

The guy is a full blown fraud, liar and a democrat in good standing. Anything to suggest otherwise is pure deception. He'll do as told.

I trust Joe Mancini about as far as I can throw Stacy Abrams.
Mancini is a typical, self-obsessed, slimeball D.C. pol. If he's what we're pinning our hopes on - - then we're done.

Manchin is going to milk this for as much as he can. The Communists in charge will provide as much pork as Joe wants to get his vote, and you can be assured that West VA will be overflowing with lard.

What is wrong with West Virginians that they keep electing this fraud?

Manchin is a phony. He specializes in pretending to be undecided on important votes, which gives him media attention that he relishes, and reinforces his undeserved reputation as a moderate democrat. Then, almost without fail, he tows the democrat party line.

This man will fold like a cheap suit!
Watch the video of the first State of the Union President Trump gave 2017
In it near the end he is addressing the Military nearly everyone is standing and applauding..
The Good Senator begins to STAND UP...
Seated to the right of the Senator one seat removed if Chuck Schumer, seated, He says something to The Senator and as the Senator begins to stand he abruptly sat down..
Catch the video!
He talks bi-partisan but votes the party line!
Hot or Cold, Luke warm I vomit you from my mouth, it states in the bible!
No the Senator is Exhibit #1 in the definition of Phony!
Find the clip post it on the enter Rt, post it
W VA

Joe Manchin is a total fraud. How West Virginia keeps voting this clown into office is a mystery. After Obama destroyed W.V. jobs by killing the coal industry, Trump brought those jobs back and more. Yet Manchin is still there. You get what you vote for. Got ikt..

Oh please. Manchin has marched lock step with the Democrats since being elected. All Democrats march lock step. The people controlling the Democrats party have that firm of a grip on it. Any thought that Manchin will flip resides only in people's imaginations. If Manchin were to flip to a Republican, he would just be another RINO, btw.

He is a reliable vote for the hard left Biden agenda. Don’t fool yourself.

A principled Democrat is one that will sell himself (or herself) out to the highest bidder. Come to think of that, we have a few Republicans like that too (Turtle, Romney, Murkowski come to mind).
I wouldn't trust Manchin as far as I can throw him. He gets a one-year hall pass from Schumer when it's re-election time. So he's bought-and-paid-for until late 2023 or early 2024.
If I had seen a Democrat or two go against the impeachment votes in the House and Senate, either time, I'd buy that "principled Democrat" line. Otherwise, it's an oxymoron. Like "Jumbo Shrimp." Or "Congressional Ethics."

When Joe Manchin rides through his home state and see everything named Byrd this and Byrd that, he wants some of that too. The difference is, he just wants the money associated with the prize, forget the name. I would not trust Joe Manchin any further that you can through a coal car.

Manchin is also for his daughter. He got a law passed that all schools in the country must have an Epipen on hand because his daughter runs the Epipen company. Then she ran the price up to the sky. Like most all politicians he helps his family first.

Manchin will always go for the Demonrat agenda, even though he pretends otherwise, occasionally.
Manchin needs to be GONE, replaced by a real conservative Senator.

Machin gets all sorts of air time and plays the honest hero, but 99% of the time he folds and votes with the Dems. A real fraud.

Manchin is compromised and will continue to compromise. When he ran for governor in the 1990's, he had a 100% pro-life voting record and was endorsed by West Virginians for Life. Since going to Congress, he now has a 25% pro-life voting record. A couple years ago, a photo of him materialized that showed him standing for Planned Parenthood. West Virginia is a very red state, and it is pro-life and strongly supports the Second Amendment. I expect him to fold.

If the keys to a better USA are in Joe Manchin's pocket, we are in a perilous condition.

Poster 16, for those who have not heard, Manchin’s daughter was issued an MBA diploma from West Virginia University. She did not earn the degree, she finished less than half the program. When the scandal news broke, the university rescinded the degree. The scandal took down the WVU President, the Provost, and two officials from the college of business. Academic fraud is no problem for well connected democrats. They specialize in the practice. Manchin’s daughter retired as CEO of a drug company that paid her $19 million a year, and she still contends that she finished the requirements for the degree.

Then the progressive agenda will pass, as Manchin will vote for it.
