Unless he votes with TRUMP 100% then we don't need him!

[clintonh8r]

Doesn’t he do this periodically? It’s part of his schtick...

[rktman]

How could we tell the difference? 👹

[aynrandfreak]

It looks a lot more opportunistic in his election year. We lost the Obamacare repeal by one vote.

[Gay State Conservative]

Smart move.Better to be on the same page as the large majority of your constituents than a small minority.

Joe Munchkin?

I think there are a lot of munchkins over there.

[COBOL2Java]

“I wish Joe was a Republican to tell you the truth,” he said of the West Virginia senator.

I wish McConnell and Ryan were Republicans.

Primary May 8 , too late.

[forgotten man]

Does anybody know what will be going on in the West VA Republican primary? Is there a chance that the Republican West VA primary can turn into a disaster like in Mississippi and Alabama? If so maybe Manchin (R) might be OK.

[Reily]

The article fails to mention that before Justice was a democrat he was republican. So mister journalist the WV Guv - Justice did a republican-to-democrat-to-republican rotation. Much more a rotation in Justice’s case then a switch. Manchin must be feeling some re-election negativity.

[Terry Mross]

Trump won by 40 points so the dem governor became a republican. I’m surprised ALL the Dems didn’t switch.

[clearcarbon]

DemRATs are making a visible and noisy presentation of treating Manchin the way they treat Republicans? Great! Shows the people of West Virginia who they really are.

Though better he than Tim Kane, the answer is still NO. There is no trusting the man. He might have small conservative tendencies, but they failed to stop him from voting with the d’rat party (and ‘their leader, BO’B) He should show a little spine before our open arms embrace him. Nothing like playing the field, huh, Joe. Let him take a stance while still a d’rat and see how that pans out. The thought of being ‘homeless’ weighs heavy on those that will lose the roof over their heads sooner or later. Hopefully in the case of a d’rat, let it be sooner please.

[taildragger]

Think Freepers. PDJT will need this one vote if Justice Kennedy retires and the Fakata Carnival cast of characters, you know, Collins, Murkowski, and maybe even McCain if he makes it that long, will vote no, especially McCain just to be a Richard cranium. This about another originalist and a game changer fot the next 40 yrs.

[DoodleDawg]

He’s not going to switch.

[LIConFem]

NO!!! He has had a pretty awful record supporting POTUS’ agenda thus far. If he switched, he’d be WORSE than useless!

[Flaming Conservative]

I hope he switches; it will help insure republicans keep control of Congress.

[SharpRightTurn]

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.

[Arm_Bears]

This again?
