If Manchin ran as an Independent would you vote for him?

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

That's the dude that left the dems right? If he ran under a ticket of "I'm not a dem, I'm not a republican, I can offer much more stability than either of those Two, let's get through 4 years without anarchy". Basically gave America a "punt" option where both sides could feel like they didn't win but didn't lose.

 

[Aardvark86]

probably

 

[Rifler]

Yes, I would actually...

 

[alaskanseminole]

Choice A. Biden
Choice B. Trump
Choice C. Manchin
Choice D. Used Condom

Choice A. Nope
Choice B. Hell No!
Choice C. Yes
Choice D. If C was not an option, Yes.

 

[BustingNarratives]

He would be worth considering. Pair him with a moderate R and it might be the most balanced ticket in the last 100 years. Too late though.

 

[torbee]

The man is an unprincipled piece of shit in the pocket of a massively corrupt industry.

And STILL a better choice than Trump and whatever is left of what used to be Joe Biden.

That is how f-----ed we are as a country.

GO TEAM USA!

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Too late. But not a ridiculous idea.

I just can’t believe the two main choices we are stuck with again. ****.

Manchin - Prez
Mitt - VP

 

[torbee]

Manchin - Prez
Mitt - VP

I would prefer switching that around, TBH.

I'd prefer a principled moderate Republican over a turncoat opportunist Democrat.

My dream scenario would be Mitt Romney switching parties and offering himself as the replacement candidate in Chicago. But that is pure fantasy, unfortunately.

I tend to agree, just didn't want to completely castrate the OP's premise.

 

[ft254]

Hell, no.

Fcvking traitor.

 

[alaskanseminole]

Hell, no.

Remember, we grade on curves and less of two evils these days.

Probably, but that ship has sailed.

Manchin - Prez

Not bad. I could live with that.

 

[HawkinK.C.1]

Yes.

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

At this point, yes.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Manchin was a Dino
Am I doing that right?
I would vote for Bidens corpse over trump. And essentially that what it will be.

This. Depressing.

 

[seminoleed]

Yes, contingent on who his veep would be.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

I'd vote for anyone with a real chance to win besides Trump or Biden. And I think millions of Americans would agree. This is really where we're at.

Castrating OPs is what interwebbing is all about...

 

[KFsdisciple]

Manchin and Gabbard would be a yes from me

 

[West Dundee Hawkeye]

Yes

 

[StormHawk42]

If I thought he had an actual chance, yes

 

[West Dundee Hawkeye]

Every major bipartisan deal that passed during Biden's term had Joe Manchin driving it forward.
