Someone mentioned today they heard Trump was going to pick

Joe Manchin for VP. That is the first time I ever heard about joe Manchin being considered.
I assume that has come from Faux. Is Joe Manchin stupid enough to be Trump's VP after
him trying to hang Pence?

Maybe only because he voted to impeach him at least once. Maybe twice?

I think we need to remember, Trump rewards only his most loyal sycophants. Manchin has been a sharp critic. And I think Manchin has, in the past couple of days, acknowledged Biden's ability to win the election.

I doubt it. Plus, he's already brushed off questions about Biden remaining the Democratic nominee when he could have said something critical about him.

It's a ploy to split the Democratic and Independent voters from the Biden Harris ticket.
