If you really have connections with the big money donors, and they are considering challenging JohnSJ Jul 2024 #93

Question: why do you think Manchin is considering running for President? brooklynite Jul 2024 #99

I really don't know Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #102

Because the reporting is saying there are donors asking him to challenge Harris JohnSJ Jul 2024 #108

Yep, I think I misunderstood Brooklynite's question Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #113

I don't think any significant pledged delegates would vote for him, but if that actually JohnSJ Jul 2024 #116

He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell IMO n/t Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #118

I think so too, but things are so crazy with money in politics I just don't know anymore. JohnSJ Jul 2024 #121

And that reporting is from the "mainstream media" that I'm continually told makes up stories..... brooklynite Jul 2024 #156

It was verified by Manchin himself JohnSJ Jul 2024 #159

Because it is being reported that some of the donors are asking Manchin to challenge JohnSJ Jul 2024 #105

Seriously how did people not know this edisdead Jul 2024 #130

I don't think he stands a chance, and by all appearances it seems that Biden's pledged delegates JohnSJ Jul 2024 #133
