Manchin eyes Senate exit
By Alexander Bolton - 06/13/19 06:00 AM EDT

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is eyeing a possible exit from the Senate, and his decision could be a significant factor in which party controls the majority in 2021.

In moments of frustration, the centrist senator has gone so far as to tell colleagues he may leave the upper chamber before the end of this Congress, or after the 2020 elections.

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) keeps a close watch on Manchin, and the senators have a good working relationship. While Schumer recognizes that his West Virginia colleague can get exasperated by dysfunction in the Senate, he believes Manchin is content and engaged in his job.

But Manchin says he’s deeply irritated with the lack of bipartisan cooperation on Capitol Hill, where passing bills has largely become an afterthought in the 116th Congress.

Manchin recognizes he is a member of a party that has negative wishes for the people of America.  Their focus is making as many illegal invaders citizens to bolster their ranks, because USA citizens are becoming WOKE on the vagaries of the Democommies.

No sane person would vote for a Democommie.  They realize they bring nothing to the table.

Mojo was disappointed in 2008 when Shrillery wasn't the candidate, because he was counting on her making him her running mate. He appointed himself Senator and found, to his dismay, that no one in D.C. cared what he had to say. The whole time he's been a Senator, he's tried to portray himself as something he isn't, namely, principaled. Anyone who thought he was conservative was very much fooled. He stands for nothing. Except maybe another bottle of Jack.

Now he wants to run home to W.Va. and run for governor. After his last sting as governor, the state found itself in 49th or 50th place (thanks, Mississippi!) in every category of health, economics, education and overall wellbeing. Yeah, that's what we need.

Bloomberg is souring all Democrat candidates as he insanely goes after the jobs of coal miners, Manchin's backers.
