Manchin says open primary would make Biden ‘stronger candidate’
The Hill ^ | 10/05/2023 | LAUREN SFORZA

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said that an open Democratic primary would make President Biden a “stronger candidate.”

When MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough asked Manchin on “Morning Joe” if Biden was the “best choice” to beat former President Trump, he said that he didn’t know “who else was out there.” He suggested that an open primary could benefit the sitting president, saying that he could learn from his opponents.

“I’ve always been scared, because I’ve always never been unopposed,” he said. “And that was always good. You know, let me tell you something, I’ve learned from every race I was ever in. I’ve learned from my opponents. I got something wrong. I’ve always said, I’ve never met the first person, is always wrong. The person running against me, I got knowledge from them. I could pick something, I could use it.”

I think he stuck his finger in the light bulb socket.

But he actually has a deviously good idea. He’s actually taunting Biden. An open primary would devastate Pedo Peter.

I have to laugh at these comments, everyone knows Joe has dementia and cannot debate. He’s the first President in my lifetime that has never had an actual, real, unrehearsed, long form press conference with dozens and dozens of rapid fire questions. Even funnier, the press hasn’t noticed.

He would lose in a landslide to RFK Jr, who then might beat Trump. (maybe)

"...Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said that an open Democratic primary would make President Biden a 'stronger candidate.'...”

Nice try, Joey, but I've got ten dollars that say it would make him a former candidate.
