Joe Manchin May Be About to Get His Revenge on Democrats Who Betrayed Him

Joe Manchin May Be About to Get His Revenge on Democrats Who Betrayed Him
Bonchie


Sen. Joe Manchin’s decision to provide the deciding vote on the farcically-named Inflation Reduction Act has proved fateful. Once a unicorn within the Democratic Party, enjoying broad Republican support in his state of West Virginia, Manchin threw all that goodwill away in a misguided attempt to play the hero.

According to reports at the time, left-wing Sen. Chris Coons convinced his colleague that he could “hit a homer in the ninth inning” and pacify the radicals who had been attacking him all year. The results were predictable.

Promises made to Manchin by his own party members on permitting reform weren’t honored while the White House once again waged war on the coal industry. Meanwhile, the far-left gave Manchin no quarter, continuing to publicly oppose his attempts at bipartisanship at every turn.

By April, things had gotten so bad that the senator started signaling that he no longer even supported the Inflation Reduction Act. Then there were the little jabs, such as Joe Biden mocking Manchin during a speech in June and calling him a “friend,” a political death sentence in the deep red state the senator hails from.

Perhaps some revenge is on the table, though?

His revenge, per the article:
Quote
Senator Joe Manchin is headed to New Hampshire next week for an event with No Labels as the group looks to run a third-party candidate in next year’s presidential election and frantic Democrats are trying to stop it out of fears it could siphon off votes from Joe Biden to hand Donald Trump a victory.

Manchin, a former honorary co-chair of the group, will be the headliner of the gathering along with former Republican Governor of Utah Jon Huntsman at the townhall meeting, which will take place Monday, July 17th, at Saint Anselm’s College in Manchester, No Labels told DailyMail.com.
:pop41:

But Jon Huntsman? Yecchh.

You can't be a Pro-Life Dem, nor be a Pro-Carbon Dem.  Those political dinosaurs have gone extinct.

He will cave to the radicals.  He always does.

There's no such thing as a non-Democrat Manchin.

Neither were the promises that Manchin made to his own constituents.  To paraphrase the Bible, one cannot serve both the people of West Virginia and the Democrat Party.

There is the talk and there is the do. All you have to do Manchin - is do, otherwise it's all just doo-doo.

Spineless Manchin will not do a thing to surprise the Democommie Party, which he is completely loyal to on all major issues.  The notion of him running as a third party candidate is laughable!

The Washington Post describes anti-No Labels group as "bipartisan" because, you guessed it, a Lincoln Project (which is later just described as an "anti-Trump" org) guy is involved.
