He’s not going to switch.
NO!!! He has had a pretty awful record supporting POTUS’ agenda thus far. If he switched, he’d be WORSE than useless!
love how red wv has become. hopefully it stays that way. the stufff im seeing in VA, PA and missouri has ne worried
It looks a lot more opportunistic in his election year. We lost the Obamacare repeal by one vote.
Yep. No more tough votes. The Senate has basically checked out for the midterms.
Sure a lot of these running wild thru the streets, all trying to get ahead :-/
Maybe that 40% advantage is just too steep to overcome?
Donald Trump in West Virginia: Joe Manchin Talks But Votes Against Our Agenda
I thought he would be helpful because he talks, he grabs me, I grab him, he says hello, I say hello but he votes against everything, Trump said.
The president made his remarks during a visit to West Virginia to discuss tax cuts and his future agenda for the country. He commented that Manchin voted against the tax cuts and health care.
Thats bad, we cant have it, he said. It is one of those things and he does other things I dont like, I will be honest with you.
He also complained that Manchin was not supportive of his efforts to strengthen immigration laws.
We have very weak laws because of the Democrats, he said. And Joe Manchin has not helped us.
Senator Manchin’s votes speak louder than his words. He had a golden opportunity to vote for the “Trump tax cut package” and didn’t. He has failed to support the Trump agenda. Sorry Joe, West Virginia has some wonderful fishing holes. Enjoy your retirement...
Thanks for the clarification. Thought so.. Prove yourself. Gang members must. We should ask congress to do no less.
After all the entire gang is nothing but punk hoodlums... never trust!
I hope he switches; it will help insure republicans keep control of Congress.
WV isn’t going to vote for anyone not 100% against gun control. That’s why Gore and Kerry never had a chance. Hillary got the finger (literally) because of her war on coal statements. Stupid bitch then came to the state to campaign once. After her sendoff, she never came back.
Manchin is most likely dead meat even if he passes out free BJ’s at every courthouse in the state.
Manchin voted lockstep for Obummer’s commie agenda and now he thinks he may want to switch parties as he sees the avalanche coming at him? Come on, Mountaineers, throw this bum out. Vote for Morrisey.
This again?
John McCain did that to America.
No, an (R) Manchin would not be all right. It could be just to get reelected, then if Democrats get the Senate, he’ll keep being a Democrat. Vote for a candidate who is not prone to switching parties when convenient.
If he wanted to be a Republican, he could have switched in 2017. Now he’s facing reelection and knows his seat is at risk. A Democrat who could be trusted to switch would have helped the administration on the bills that have come to the floor, and Senator Manchin has not.
All talk. Thinks the WV’s are really stupid.
Manchin has led us down this road before with the party-switch tease, but his loyalties are and always will be with the dems. Any switch would be to ward off defeat in November and he’d be an untrustworthy presence.
