Democrat Manchin goes rogue with plans to support Trump nominees
By Anna Giaritelli (@anna_giaritelli) • 12/15/16 11:43 PM


Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., extended an olive branch on Thursday to his Republican colleagues and the incoming GOP administration, stating he would have no personal issue confirming Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., for attorney general.

"I know Jeff Sessions. Jeff is a friend of mine and I would say I would support Jeff," Manchin told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday evening. "The things they're saying about Jeff - I've never seen any trace of that."

The moderate Democrat and coal enthusiast said it is the Senate's job to give the president the executive team he desires, unless nominees are wildly inappropriate for the job.

If the party roles were reversed, the MSM would be hailing this as bi-partisan support for POTUS  agenda.

Instead this is reported as a rogue politician.

Don't get too excited about ol' Mojo. He does this every once in a while, but the DNC always gets him back into line.

Definition of a "West Virginia Democrat": a career politician who campaigns as a conservative and governs as a liberal. Ex. @Sen_JoeManchin

Or when the Republican jumps to the Dems it's viewed as a "repudiation of an illegitimate President."

I will wager that Joe Manchin will be a Republican before June of 2017.
