I just realized how much I distrust Manchain and Sinema

I have never really had any issues with No Labels... it is what it is.. Perot was a headache for the Republicans and Ralph Nadar has been a headache for us.. but my stomach did a 180 with the possibility of Manchin or Sinema on a no labels ticket.. There is no way in this world or the next I would vote for a third party with those two on the ticket.. or even one of them.. I do not trust them as far as I can throw them..

Maybe they’re hoping both the R and D parties will pay them to go away.

sides could get him a lot of ignorant independent voters. That is not good, that is who decides elections.
We have about 45 % of Democrats and Republicans that vote the party line and 10% of the people
sit on the fence. Manchin could very well put Trump in office IMO.
