Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said in an interview published Wednesday that he regrets backing Hillary Clinton in 2016, and hinted that he could back President Trump’s re-election in 2020 – as he looks to fend off a Republican challenger in November.
There is one major problem with this scenario. If every moderate DEM such as Manchin were to win their vulnerable seat, they could turn the Senate.
That would put radical LW Chuckie in charge of the agenda and would effectively shut out any moderate DEM from having any impact.
If it comes down to a choice between a moderate Republican or a Moderate DEM, the moderate Republican has to be the choice in order to keep Chuckie from being the majority leader.
I think Trump has upended Politics in ways unthinkable before. By keeping his Campaign promises he’s raised the bar. Manchin voted against tax cuts and other things Trump has done as a faithful Democrat, don’t think people will accept he’s changed.
Reminds me of 2008 when vast numbers of Dem’s lied and pretended to be conservatives to get elected then voted lockstep with liberal Dem’s and Obama after the election.
