Whereas I would be happy to see the WORST of the DINOs finally out of the Senate, I worry about what would replace him.
No, Joe. “Best job in the world” belongs to Trump’s meth dealer.
This is crappy news. Not a chance in hell of a Democrat winning his seat.
Statehood for DC and PR is an absolute must.
And he knows it.
"best job in the world,” as governor of West Virginia.
hmmm… has he ever been to West Virginia?
MexiRico isn’t even in the U.S., dude. We covered the geography lessons the other day…
Serious question: would he, if elected as Gov, get to name the Senator replacing him? I know in some cases Governors get to do just that and not sure if it’s based on the laws of the state in question?
I’m torn on this. He’s an unreliable, self-aggrandizing dickhead with an absolutely horrible daughter. (Heather Bresch - EpiPen). But, he’s not 100% Republican - until it matters and he’s a tie-breaking vote.
Meh. Whatever.
It most assuredly would not be a Democrat.
Actually, no, not “whatever.”
This is a very pertinent issue. For as much as some may despise Manchin as a Senator, he could be the very real difference between controlling the Senate and staying where we are. I believe we can hold onto the House and get the WH but without the Senate we’re kinda back to square one.
Joe just won. He’s not going to leave the Senate when he’s such a strategically important vote. I also don’t think he can win another statewide race there. WV is becoming too Republican even for him.
Something is not quite right with Manchin.
Manchin is a puke. He can serve and hold a seat for Dems for five more years, and he’s openly contemplating kicking a hard won victory to the curb. Eff him.
Let’s see try to return to being chief executive of a poor state with limited education, resources, and funds, or stay in Washington as a where you have influence on funding and policy that can help your state?
A thought that hasn’t crossed his mind.
Best job ever!
As a West Virginian I would hate to see this. He is too conservative for my taste, but he can win as a Dem in WV and has been a crucial Dem vote in the Senate. Retaking the majority in 2020 without him would be much more difficult.
I’d tell him to go for it if I thought we were likely to have a solid Manchin-proof majority in the Senate…but at this point, we’re fighting for table scraps and need every Dem we can get, even the nominal half-assed ones.
Manchin…the classic Clinton-Obama DINO!
If W. Viriginia is the best, then why does the state have the highest per capita prescirption drug addiction rate in the world?
Pretty sure working as a towel-boy in a sex club is more respectable.
