    Yep, but who’s air and time and money will he be wasting? I feel that if he pulls two votes away from you know who then we’re all set, so go get ‘em, tiger!

      Some of what I've read indicates Manchin running third party would ultimately hurt Biden more and help Trump more.

        Yeah, gonna disagree. Can’t imagine too many Democrats feeling real generous towards this self-aggrandizing obstructionist-in-chief.

        As stated elsewhere in the conversation, this guy can’t even carry West Virginia and he’s supposed to make a dent in the incumbent vote count? Unlikely.

      Fair enough, I guess. I am just so weary of these asshats. I really pine for some positive and constructive leadership.

        He's an apple cart upsetter, who knows how much these independent candidates will dilute the votes for the historical right/left. I hope I'm wrong, but Manchin may just be the antidote for the moderate vote at this point.

        I like to think that these asshats generally get exactly what they deserve, and that they will take care of themselves for us. In old Joe’s case, since shame is out of the question, the best we can hope for is irrelevance. He’s got a great head-start already, and an utterly failed bid for the Office of the President may just be the coup de grace 🤌🏼
