Manchin says Democrats 'can't go too far left'
The Hill ^ | 11/04/221 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 11/04/2021 7:16:53 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) in a Thursday morning appearance on CNN’s "New Day" defended his arguments over the social spending and climate package stuck in Congress, arguing that Democrats and President Biden will be hurt if the party moves too far to the left.

“I believe in President Biden. I still do and I will always because he's a good person, he's here for the right reason. He really is in government for the right reason. We just have to work together. We can't go too far left,” Manchin said.

“This is not a center left or a left country, we are a center if anything, a little center right country, and this means that's being shown. And we ought to be able to recognize that,” he added.

I’m curious. Once he gets exactly as left as he wants to go what’s next? Stop making laws?

Man the democrats have to be so demoralized right now.

They’ve taken off the mask and have just become outed as a bunch of Crazies

This is a delicious condemnation in polite words of critique.

“I believe in President Biden. I still do and I will always because he’s a good person, he’s here for the right reason.”

Cant explain to him his mistaken opinion if he has that big of a plank in his eye.

The Democrat Party went too far left in 1935.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Country recognizes Manchin’s party left him behind. Of course, his support of Biden and insistence he’s a good man exposes how truly clueless he is.

if anything, a little center right country

Of course, which is why America is not happy with Brandon and the wacky Left.

"“I believe in President Biden. I still do and I will always because he's a good person, he's here for the right reason. He really is in government for the right reason. We just have to work together. We can't go too far left,” Manchin said."

If Manchin really believes this, he is dangerously delusional and all the talk of getting him to switch parties is nothing but misguided hopium.

“. . . because he’s a good person, he’s here for the right reason.”

He’s a politician. I don’t mind him saying this. What would be scary is IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES IT!

Because there are many life-long Democrats who do not think for themselves and just pull the lever for anyone with a "D" after their name.

But Manchin is far, far better than Robert KKK Byrd who was in office for life.

I would support them on primaries for those two. They need to get wild eyed commies in there for the general. DINO’s out!
