15. Manchin is not a serious presidential candidate

Thu Oct 21, 2021, 05:28 PM

His stubborn obstruction to right the ship is putting the nation at risk along with Sinema, they are handing control of the political agenda to the rethuglicants who clearly choose dictatorship over real governance. Manchin is for special interests and not for the majority of Americans. I will not support any run for President by Manchin. He is showing where his loyalties really reside.
