Manchin on MSNBC re Trump calling him a "munchkin": I'm taller than he is, but he's much heavier.

[highplainsdem]

Minutes ago.

And he just said the name-calling makes Trump look like an immature dolt.

[Dennis Donovan]

1. Ha! There goes that invite to fly on AF1...

[Iliyah]

2. LOL . . .

Between him and Warren with the Pence talk, I'll say 10+ points . . .

[empedocles]

3. Ah, 'pleasant' humor.

[PatSeg]

4. Oh no!

Someone has been added to the enemies list. Well, he probably was already on it because of his impeachment vote, but not he'll be moved up higher.

Trump insults people and then gets unhinged when they insult him back. It is almost like he wants to be disparaged so he has an excuse to be outraged every minute of the day. I think he is addicted to the anger and vengeance. If he wakes up in the morning and no one has earned his wrath, he will lash out so he can have a target for all his pent up anger.

[Walleye]

29. Exactly. Addicted to it, like his fans and cult members

That’s a big part of the problem. Addiction is a tough hold to break.

[PatSeg]

30. Sometimes I feel like I am

an outrage junkies, being I am so used to a fresh outrage every day. If there isn't one, then I worry that something will come crashing down any minute.

If and when, life becomes more normal, it may take awhile to adjust, but I'm sure we'll adapt!

5. Manchin is not colorful enough to be a munchkin ...

[peggysue2]

12. Can't believe that Trump reposted this pic in black and white

Saying it looked perfect and the color pic was fake news. If anything the black and white looked worse. Btw, the hair combed back was due to windy conditions.

The man is beyond deluded. And in this shot? He looks like a clown in greasepaint.

[Grokenstein]

16. They tried baby wipes, but

Putin's butt still left some nasty stains.

[cstanleytech]

22. Well since Mitch is a professional at being Putin's bitch maybe Trump should ask him how best to

remove the stains.

[yonder]

17. The B&W photo looked much worse, IMO.

The deluded fool thought he'd fix that color problem by getting rid of color. Wrong.

[peggysue2]

26. I thought so, too

The man really should wear glasses.

[cstanleytech]

21. I think its not a comb over but rather a high end toupee as look at how there is a slight difference

about an inch or 2 above the ears near the front and you can see a slight dividing line from where he real hair meets the toupee and that is why he keeps his remaining hair on the sides slightly longer as he can use it to conceal it better.

[peggysue2]

25. Oooooo!

You may be right because that looks like a lot more hair than he appears to have with the comb over. Thicker, longer.

Still grotesque!

[jayschool2013]

15. You're thinking oompa-loompa

[peggysue2]

24. LOL!!

That's a good match!

[redstatebluegirl]

27. Oh goodness I love this!!! he is an oompa-loompa, of course they are nice and he is so not!

[dewsgirl]

6. LoL😂

[NewJeffCT]

7. I saw that Manchin is listed as 6'3"

which means he's a good 3 inches taller than Donny Dollhands

[malaise]

8. That's how you respond to this cretin

Bravo

[riversedge]

9. "the name-calling makes Trump look like an immature dolt." Mild but spot on.

[Sneederbunk]

11. A very heavy dolt.

[MurrayDelph]

13. But it will still upset Trump

...once someone tells him what it means

[riversedge]

23. ha ha

[cyclonefence]

10. I think this interview was telling

I do not believe Manchin would have been so outspoken against Trump unless he had taken the temperature of the folks back home. This *may* indicate that Trump has lost significant support in WV, and not just from their senator. Manchin loves his job too much to risk losing it.

I also believe, as a native WVian, that photos like the one recently released, demonstrating Trump's vanity, work powerfully against him in WV, where men who paint their faces are sissies and deserve contempt. "Sissies" not to mean gay, btw, just dandified with the kind of interest in their looks that only women are supposed to have.

[peggysue2]

14. That's exactly what I thought

I do not believe Manchin would have been so outspoken against Trump unless he had taken the temperature of the folks back home.

Manchin has his ear to the ground and can hear the rumble/grumble of WVa voters. All those promises Trump made and broke--the opioid crisis for instance, the coal industry--are having a damping effect.

Say what you will about Manchin, he knows his people.

[Squinch]

28. My first thought too.

[3Hotdogs]

18. "Like" an immature dolt?

19. I first read "Manchin" as "Mnuchin" and thought

WTF is the Treasury Secretary up to now, trying to get his ass fired?

That could've been fun.

[ashling]

20. That's what I call Mnuchin

And I am not immature

[CatWoman]

31. K; R

[SMC22307]

32. *That* will sting Dirty Don since he's so vain.

The immature dolt not so much, but the suggestion that he is fat? Absolutely.
