He's a Rodent and the West Virginians were idiots for returning his Rodent behind back to the Senate in 2018.
He'll remain a Rodent. Even if he switched parties and become a RINO, he's a Rodent at heart and he can never be trusted by real Americans. Right now he's selling his vote for favors, and generally he's being discounted by the treasons of Mittens, Murky, Sassy and Collins, anyway.
The best thing the people of WV can do for themselves is to vote Manchin out in 2024 and replace him with an American from their own communities. They should be tired of their DC hack now that the Rodents have won their coup and shut down coal again.
