It makes sense. He has done everything he can do sabotage Bidens agenda for the American people, virtually placing Trump in a good position to win. Certainly Trump wont choose Pence when he runs. And Manchin knows Trump doesnt have many years left.
Yes, I know Ill get booed, but can you honestly tell me that Manchin isnt at least 50 percent responsible for destroying the great things that should have been started and accomplished under a democratic majority?

(32,734 posts)Despite the things we occasionally say and think about Manchin, he's a loyal Democrat.
He won't switch parties, and he hates Chump.
By West Virginia standards, Joe Manchin is a wealthy and powerful man. He has wealthy donors and many of them are not Dems. His constituents are mostly conservative ChumpHumpers, and they like Joe because he sticks it to the libs. He walks a fine line, but a lot of it is a charade.

He may be trying to knock out a biden second term so he can run. Who knows with the crazy. He really believes he is in the majority of the party, and the extremists are the minority.
