He’s probably in for a shock when he leaves the safety of his home state voters.

Yeah. A man who is hated by both parties outside of WV thinks he can win the presidency? As an independent?!

Manchin, you are no Teddy Roosevelt.

He would be more likely to upend trump. Maybe Manchin will finally officially switch parties.

From whom Manchin will win votes is actually pretty interesting. In a race where most voters seem to vote against one person, instead of for, a third candidate could get a chance … if said candidate wasn’t the most universally unliked person on the hill next to Rafael Cruz.

Haven’t read the article, but Manchin is running as a third party candidate? So now the choice is between two traitorous old geezers and a blander than mayo, even older, geezer?

Did you really spend all your “we can do it” energy on Obama? Can’t you come up with a viable candidate with DOB in the latter half of the 20th century?

Manchin is pretty much hated everywhere, but Biden isn’t exactly well liked either… Then again there’s a large part of the GOP base that loathes Trump. So for everyone but the MAGAts it’s a matter of whom you hate the least. WTF America?
