Could Manchin be considering following Sinema?
I don't know how much WV politics parallels AZ but have to think Joe is assessing his options given the new reality as well. Sinema was pretty low key about things but Joe seemed to relish a place in the spotlight.

1. I don't know, I look at him as corrupt, but not an egomaniac
At least not to the point of doing insane self-destructive things

2. I thought he would jump first.
The spotlight is his oxygen.

7. I didn't. I don't think he had the guts.
Now, however….
He’ll ultimately do whatever he thinks will serve him best. Can’t stand either of ‘em. |

14. He would lose the primary in WV to a republican. And he knows it.

10. i dont think so...krystin is a narcicisst and couldnt stand another woman having the lime light
...so when the release came she had to find someway to get back to the center of attention. wonder what her constituents thought of that? bet she becomes a dem again before the election...if they dont petition to recall her.

13. not sure if you can recall a senator
since they represent the state ... the house represents the people.
I could be wrong ... |

Manchin is in no danger of being primaried as a Democrat in WV.

18. I agree. He knows he would easily win a primary if there is one anyway
Manchin needs Republican votes to win in WV, but he needs all of the Democratic votes also. If he breaks with Democrats he would lose many of them.

16. He would lose in the primary, IMO.
Manchin is remaining a Democrat.

19. There is little benefit to him to do so imo.
Manchin has little shot of losing the primary in WV.
Despite people opinion of him in these board, he is the best shot to keep this seat D in an extremely red state imo. |

20. Unlike Sinema, he isn't worried about being primaried
He easily fended off a challange from the left last time.
