peek-a-boo:

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.

Doesn’t stop Dems from claiming they’ll support his 2020 re-election.

if manchin really wants to keep his job, he should switch to the republican side of the room.

Manchin, Like Schoen, Geraldo and Morris are all going to vote for Trump, the good ole JFK democrat days are over.

…hinted that he could back President Trump’s re-election in 2020…

He said he considered pulling his endorsement…

Attreyu · 2018-06-07T14:33:50.415Z

pulling his endorsement for the DNC Candidate , if its another person like Clinton.

Attreyu · 2018-06-07T14:34:49.987Z

If Manchin were to run for president he would beat Trump! The problem is the left has gone way left.

DougBH · 2018-06-07T14:35:13.552Z

A vote for him is a vote for Schumer. That’s all you need to know.

as opposed to the GOP which has a perpetual liar at the top…

The biggest liar at the top, of all time, was Obama.

False by every known metric.

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.

He’s a Democrat and they lie during election years. Sadly,it will probably work. Dems vote how they are told to vote.

Exactly. Manchin didn’t vote with Rs much. Plus we don’t want Schumer as majority leader.

Manchins internal polling must be bad as he sounds desperate and it’s only June.

WildRose · 2018-06-08T08:48:20.425Z

One word.

Desperation.

Iam · 2018-06-08T23:15:27.762Z

Senator Manchin should just come out of the closet already.

WildRose · 2018-06-09T07:43:55.400Z

He should resign and go home. All he’s doing is proving he’ll do or say anything in desperation to save his seat.

Desperate is the word. Too late to claim he wants to vote with the R’s. He had every opportunity and did so rarely. Usually when the vote didn’t matter.

Oh no one could match Obama.

Senator Manchin is one of the three Democratic Senators that voted for Gorsuch for SCOTUS, and he is the only Democratic Senator that voted for Sessions as AG.

If I lived in WV, I would vote to reelect Manchin as Senator.

gooddad409 · 2018-06-09T17:58:47.990Z

Oh he has voted with the GOP 2 or 3 times. Not good enough.
