Manchin will decide in early 2024 if he runs for President on a centrist ticket.

[applegrove]

Chuck Todd NBC

[yardwork]

1. Excuse me while I die laughing. Just, no.

[Demsrule86]

2. What a waste of time...no one likes him.

[Chellee]

3. And I will decide in early April 2, 2023 if I will vote for him.

No.

[MLAA]

4. Hmmmm.

- I don’t think he can when a Dem primary
- I don’t think he can win a Republican primary
- if he runs as an independent, he won’t win enough Republicans or Dems to win the presidency

Sounds like a lot of hot air, self deluded egotistical muttering

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes, who does he think will vote for him?

[MLAA]

28. I don't think anyone outside of Kentucky.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Manchin is from WV. Nobody in Kentucky as ever heard of him.

[Mr.Bill]

39. Hopefully, republicans. n/t

[PatSeg]

22. Yeah, I don't think much of anyone really likes him

He needs some kind of a base nationwide and I can't image who that base would be. He's not crazy enough for the MAGATs and he's too wishywashy for Democrats, plus he is unlikable.

[MLAA]

26. Agree!

[GPV]

5. He only has power as a swing vote. He hasn't got anything else.

[WiVoter]

29. Right There

That’s it in a nutshell

[FalloutShelter]

6. Maybe he should hold our for the VP spot on the

Pence/Manchin...No chance in HELL ticket...
or the Pence/Manchin... What are you smoking? ticket.

[LakeArenal]

7. Will Sinema be his VP.

Pile of poo ticket?

[Celerity]

15. lol, I spit my Sunday wine a bit

Pile of poo ticket

[Aristus]

8. Is he so worried that T***p and DeSantis will split the GOP vote

that he wants to split the Democratic vote?

I can’t think of a single thing, other than helping us hold on to committee chairs, that he’s done for his own party.

[ariadne0614]

12. To me, it makes sense that he would draw Rs who are disgusted with the GOP, but

. . .can’t bring themselves to vote D.

[Elessar Zappa]

42. He generally votes for Biden judicial nominees.

[NCDem47]

9. He won't run for President.

Just wants others to breathlessly talk about him for the remainder of the year.

So...

F'n...

Sick..

Of this one.

[Turbineguy]

10. We'll all be

Rolling coal.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Is this a day-late April fool's joke?

Such delusions of grandeur! Does he actually think he has even a smidgen of appeal to younger voters? Or to anyone except maybe his wife and the voters of West Virginia?

[Greybnk48]

13. If I posted how many hahahaha's this announcement pleads for

it would take an eternity. Manchin needs to lay off the sauce.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. WTF?!?!

[Freethinker65]

17. He wants a Veep nod from someone faux centrist.

Will run on a self serving pro-fossil fuel anti-alternative energy platform.

[applegrove]

18. It will potentially give Trump the WH. IMHO

[ColinC]

20. I think the opposite

He’s garnered far more fanfare from republicans than from the left since his legacy has been to basically sabotage democrats imho

[applegrove]

21. But Biden and Trump are 2 points apart if the general election

we're held today. Biden 46 to Trump 44 I think. People willing to vote for Trump will not vote for Manchin. The leaves independants and never Trump Republicans to vote for Manchin.

[ColinC]

23. I just don't think Manchin has much credibility outside ofWV

And if exercised properly could keep those EVs entirely from the R candidate

[applegrove]

25. True this.

[uponit7771]

24. Machin isn't nationally known and appeals more to Trumpers in a red state

[applegrove]

27. I hope so.

[ColinC]

19. I like this idea.

He is so reviled on the left at this point, he’s more likely to take votes from the Republican then from Biden. He might even win WV over the Republican nominee which would be great!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

30. Oh shit no

Corporate dems suck at being dems.

[Iggo]

31. Let's see...today is April 2nd...so, no, that's not it...

[Hotler]

32. He sucks. nt

[stumpysbear]

33. Delusional

[Cha]

36. He'll "decide" if he want to

Rf Democracy or not for his own profit.

[Voltaire2]

37. So the center between fascism and democracy is what?

I seriously don’t know what ideology the American political ‘center’ holds. What is moderate fascism?

[Baltimike]

38. So we're about to lose a Senate seat (for caucusing purposes only)

and Manchin is about to end his political career.

[Emile]

40. I heard he is running for governor of WV and

his close pal the republican governor of WV will run for his Senate seat.

[flamingdem]

41. Funded by No Labels

and they won't share donor info
