Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is warning that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will have to “moderate†if he continues to maintain his frontrunner status in the Democrat primary, the West Virginia lawmaker emphasizing that he is “not going socialist.â€
Sanders’ successes in both Iowa and New Hampshire, combined with Joe Biden’s (D) poor performances, have several lawmakers increasingly considering the possibility of Vermont’s socialist senator winning the Democrat nomination.
Manchin, long viewed as a more “moderate†Democrat, said Sanders will have to shift more to the center and dial back his far-left positions if he continues to lead the Democrat field. He said a “dilemma†will ensue if Sanders refuses, because he, Manchin, will not embrace socialism.
“If Bernie ends up being one of these frontrunners, he’ll have to moderate,†Manchin said, according to Politico. “I’m not going socialist. Never been a socialist.â€

From the article:
the West Virginia lawmaker emphasizing that he is “not going socialist.â€
Got news for ya, Mr. Manchin.
If you are a member of the democrat-communist party these days, you are more than just "socialist". You're all in for marxism.

Well Joe, 3 of the 4 of your leading candidates could be considered (polling 1, 2, and 4) socialist. I think that runaway train is beyond brakes.

Get the popcorn out folks.
(1) Bernie wins the nomination
(2) dnc and dim establishment force feeds a moderate platform on the red one.
(3) Mass hysteria with Sander's base.
(4) Blood.

Bernie is a true believer, and won't change his positions.
On the other hand, Manchin is a chameleon who will change at any time to keep his constituents fooled.

The good news for the GOP is Bernie will not moderate his positions
The bad for the DNC is Bernie won’t moderate his positions

I think Democrats are quietly accepting that they’re not going to win the White House in 2020. But I think what they’re worried about now with a Sanders nomination is down ticket races

Better hope the economy keeps humming. A downturn might yield different and unfortunate circumstances.
