Manchin was occasionally with us, and occasionally against us. The democrats would say the same. And that's his problem. He's neither fish nor fowl. That may make him a legitimate "centrist," which people say they want, but really don't. He's not nearly progressive enough to win the nomination, and not conservative enough to swing any Republicans. He has no constituency outside of West Virginia. He's burned all of his bridges. He would be viable only if the democrats really wanted to save their party from the disaster Kamala represents, but they will have to suffer some historic losses before that happens.

The Dems hate him and the Repubs don't trust him.
It is amazing how tone deaf some politicians become over time.

Me, me, me. Why is it that everyone on the dem side with an eye towards being top dog in a country they hate have the least qualifications to be in the position? They should be eager to become maids and butlers in some third world country; that's about all they qualify for. Good grief! these people.

This could get even more interesting. First Nancy and Schumer won't like this developement, they can't control Manchin and then he will have a record which Kamala does not, at least not a good one. He will drain votes from others more than Kennedy will. Then the talk about "democracy" is all but deflated because of the coup on Biden and all Kammie has is abortion. Can't go to the groc store with abortion talk. The Dems are so screwed. MAGA

typical weasel-ly Manchin. why would he rejoin a party he rebuked when it has not reformed itself? without rejecting their BigCover-up Scam? for the Dems, the Biden defenestration reeks of Torricelli opportunism, all about the election and zero about the good of the country as the puppet remains in power for now. and for JoeM, it's all about him. the stench of this self-serving power-hungry bunch blankets the nation. pee-you.all the more reason to MAGA.

WV politicians have a bad habit of changing parties like most people change socks. They join up with whoever can get them elected at that moment. It happens in every race from senator to county clerk. Its a source of lots of jokes and head shaking in barber shops and hardware stores all over the state.

Manchin could be the poster boy for pigs at the government trough. Once he gets his snout in he’ll never leave. Despicable.

Joe is for what's best for Joe. He's got blisters on his ass from riding the fence.
This morning he announced he's NOT interested in running.

If Manchin makes a bid for the Dem nomination, this will likely cause other Dems to also throw their hat into the ring. Obama, Soros, and Kamala will try to rush the Zoom vote to not allow time for the potential power-grabbers to organize enough to get 300 signatures/supporters required to get their name in nomination. They will speed up the clock and run it out.
