Joe Manchin might Re-register as a Democrat and Challenge for the Democratic nomination
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
i am watching CBS; it sounds like, as of right now, Harris will likely get the delegates' support
but who knows; if Manchin or someone else makes a good case....
There’s no way a majority of delegates are going to support Joe “Wishy-Washy” Manchin. We all know how reliable he’s been towards the party, and he can go fook himself.
Never happen. There’s a section of democrats who absolutely would not vote for him.
Did not help Dems pass tic tac toe basics like voter reform. Submarined dem legislation and judicial nominees. Left the party - burning bridges on the way out.
Now wants to come back? Opportunist can pound sand.

Sooner or later, you need to realize, when the Republicans move further right, moving towards the center isn’t the answer, it’s moving further left.
Manchin is the Dem we've all held our nose and accepted the last few years. As former Republican Tim Miller has said on Lib TV repeatedly, the choice was Manchin as senator from WV, or Senator Cletus Von Ivermectin from WV.
He is leaving the Senate, and needs a grift. He's 76 years old, and any funding he might find will come from the RNC, or Russia.
Hard pass.

He can f*ck right off. Kamala is meh as a candidate but she's more then enough to beat Trump. Manchin is a parasite.
LOL no. We don't need an asshole who helped Trump nominees along and stalled the democratic agenda, unless he got some big fat pork for that shithole he calls home.
I would only vote for him if I had no choice. We could have solidified voting rights but he turned his back on the party.
He was a Republican far too many times...
Could we solidify voting rights and add the Save act as a compromise? Any way to work that
Where’s he going to get the funding? Some PAC funded from the same Russian source rfk and trump are using?
For calling on the democrats to host an open primary? You really hate democracy that much?
“ It would be wild if the democrats spit in the face of democracy 3 election cycles in a row.”
This part tool bag….
@Franisdaman please stick to posting about Caitlin Clark. Your political threads are giving me second hand embarrassment for you.
Yeah.. what about it? Truth upset you?
In 2016, the dems rigged it for Hillary by using superdelegates against Bernie.
In 2020, all the candidates dropped out, endorsed Biden, as soon as the primary momentum was building for Bernie.
Now they forced Joe Biden out despite receiving 87% in the primary.
The party of "democracy"
I don't get it. Everyone says Trump is an existential threat and in the next breath say that they couldn't support Mancin under any circumstances. So is existential threat not sufficient enough to warrant a little flexibility in terms of picking a winning candidate?
I get what you’re saying, but the guy literally left the Democratic Party.
Ten years from now they will say the Republican candidate for president is an existential threat and Donald Trump wasn’t so bad.
I don't know, he might beat Trump but 30% of the Democratic party hates him. He's jobless after the next election. This might be his play to get a Cabinet position or something.
For the record: In an election where Trump is the opponent I would hold my nose and vote for him. At least he would keep the US in NATO, not let Putin run through Europe, and appoint sane judges to the courts. But I honestly don't think he would do much else. He's more of a status quo guy.

Not 10 years, the next election. There's at least a dozen authoritarian fascists ready to pick up where Trump left off. Most of them are far more capable than Trump is as well.

It’s going to be Harris and I will grudgingly vote for her, but my new and revised pecking order for who I would like to see is:
Whitmer
Pollis
Beshear
Buttigieg
Shapiro
Klobuchar
Manchin
Big gap:
Harris
Newsome
A galactic sized gap:
Trump (who would never receive my vote)

I'm not exactly pushing Manchin as a viable candidate. I'm just saying that maybe, given the degree of fear brought on by the thought of a second Trump term, electability might be the most important factor in who the Dems s/b looking for as their standard bearer.
